Q'd Up, the Brigham Young University School of Music’s faculty jazz quintet, will celebrate its recently released fourth CD, “Quintessence,” during a special concert Wednesday, Jan. 20, at 7:30 p.m. in the Madsen Recital Hall.

Tickets are $6 and can be purchased online at byuarts.com, by phone at (801) 422-4322 or in person at the Fine Arts Ticket Office.

During the performance, Q'd Up will take a retrospective look at a smattering of original material by band members Steve Lindeman and Jay Lawrence while also exploring inventive improvisation on some classic jazz standards, according to quintet member Ron Brough.
