In PersonGBH Jazz Night with David Leach (Boston Public Library)
GBH Jazz Nights welcomes pianist, composer, and poet David Leach alongside saxophonist Lihi Haruvi, drummer Dor Herskovits, and bassist John Lockwood for a set of Leach’s original compositions.

The band can also be heard on David’s debut album, The Ground That Holds You as You Fall Forever, on Adhyâropa Records (2025).
GBH Jazz Nights showcase the incredible range of jazz talent in the Greater Boston area. The series is co-hosted by JazzBoston and GBH Music, taking place on the second Thursday of every month from September through May. Tickets are free, but registration is encouraged. Seating is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis, so arrive early! By registering, you agree to receive email communications from GBH Music.
