Al Eberhardt’s Changing Times Quintet might be described as “Southern Colorado’s Fabulous Five” This group plays standards and some originals that appeal to jazz and dance crowds of all ages The Changing Times was created by Al Eberhardt in 1976 and was at that point a six piece band made up of all Air Force Academy band musicians who wanted to “moonlight” with gigs off base After the arrival of John Turner as pianist for the group, it added more vocals to it’s repertoire and dropped from a sextet to a quartet format for most engagements, to make the group more affordable The group’s popularity grew through the 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s and was featured as a house band in the Broadmoor Hotel for almost two decades during that period The band even once embarked on a special “fan’s musical cruise” of the Caribbean for the group’s loyal followers, and band family members The Changing Times has also made three recordings The national magazine monthly publication, “Dancing USA” and the Denver Post, have both given Changing Time’s albums high reviews Currently, the original band members now mostly perform with other groups, but still are featured with “The Changing Times” quintet for occasional local special engagements that demand their unique skills and abilities For the July 3, 2013 concert at The Broadmoor Community Church, The Changing Times Quintet will feature Al Eberhardt on trumpet and vocals, John Turner on piano and vocals, Carlos Crull on Tenor sax and vocals, Wayne Wilkinson on guitar, and Eric Eberhardt on drums and vocals This highly versatile group will perform a variety of musical styles of jazz and swing tunes]]>
