Tierney Sutton Returns to the Dakota on November 7
Live jazz in the Twin Cities metro! The Jazz Police calendar is updated at least weekly. And we’re continuing “Andrea’s Picks.”

Off the scene for a number of years, Pilhofer returns this week with a quartet engagement for two nights in the Dunsmore Jazz Room (November 5-6). Back in the Twin Cities after a much shorter absence, vocalist Tierney Sutton returns to the Dakota with her new recording (November 7).
