Jazz Supper Club

The Herbie Hancock Institute of Jazz — formerly the Thelonious Monk Institute — runs a selective, tuition-free two-year fellowship at UCLA that Herbie Hancock helped found. Each class is a small ensemble chosen from applicants worldwide and mentored by major jazz artists. This sextet comes from the current class: disciplined, inventive young players from one of the most competitive programs in jazz.

Lineup subject to change.

Aimee Nolte is a Los Angeles jazz pianist and vocalist with a large online following through her channel, Aimee Nolte Music. She has recorded duets with bassist John Clayton and collaborated with Jacob Collier. Guitarist Mike Scott teaches jazz at Fullerton College and has performed with Stevie Wonder at Walt Disney Concert Hall. Together they play two sets of standards and originals.

Dave Tull leads on drums and vocals. He has toured with Chuck Mangione and Barbra Streisand, and writes witty original songs rooted in the Great American Songbook. Wayne Wilentz joins on keys and bass; he spent nine years with the gold-record band Skyy, playing rooms from Radio City Music Hall to the Greek Theatre. Together they bring sharp playing and warm humor to two sets.
