Beaumont’s MUST HEAR One of the busiest jazz combos in town is also among the youngest. The Trunks Quartet started out as musicians with La Jolla High School’s jazz ensemble, and they now have a weekly residence at the Il Covo restaurant, as well as regular gigs at Café-Bar Europa, The OB Farmers Market and Claire De Lune, to name just a few. Playing a mix of original instrumental music and such classics as “Caravan,” “Take Five” and “Chameleon,” the band is building a well-deserved local following, impressing with both their youth and musicianship. If you’re a jazz fan of any type, The Trunks Quartet needs to be on your radar. If they’re this good at this age, imagine what the future holds.
