Nat Adderley, Jr. brings his soulful, story‑rich quartet to the Back Deck for a night where jazz, R&B, and legacy meet the summer sky. His piano voice — shaped by decades with Luther Vandross and rooted in the Adderley family tradition — feels especially powerful outdoors, where every groove and every lyric‑less melody lands with warmth and intention. It’s an evening built for listeners who love jazz with heart, history, and a little bit of soul in the breeze.
