Wayzata Musicales is opening its 2025–26 season with a performance by some of the Twin Cities’ most accomplished jazz musicians. On Friday evening, audiences will gather at St. Barnabas Lutheran Church in Plymouth to hear the Bone Chance Jazz Quintet, led by celebrated trombonist Dave Graf.
Graf has long been a cornerstone of the Minnesota jazz community. Known for his versatile sound and technical mastery, he has performed with ensembles ranging from JazzMN to Broadway touring productions. His career includes sharing the stage with an extraordinary roster of performers—Natalie Cole, Tony Bennett, Aretha Franklin, Harry Connick, Jr., Julie Andrews, and many others.
For this concert, Graf has assembled a quintet of equally renowned colleagues: Doug Haining on alto saxophone, Adi Yeshaya on piano, Phil Hey on drums, and Matt Peterson on bass. Together, their collaboration promises an evening of inventive interplay and sophisticated swing.
This season marks a new chapter for Wayzata Musicales, with performances now held at St. Barnabas Lutheran Church, 15600 Old Rockford Road in Plymouth. The program begins at 7 p.m. and will run approximately 75 minutes without intermission.
Tickets are available online at wayzatamusicales.org or by scanning the event’s QR code. Pricing is set at $26 for adults, $21 for seniors, and $16 for students.
Major funding for this concert is provided by the Rotary Club of Wayzata, continuing a tradition of civic groups supporting arts and culture in the lakeside community.
