The ‘Four Brothers’ Reunion shows at PizzaExpress Jazz Club will feature four Woody Herman alumni, including Tiberi, baritone saxophonist Mike Brignola (who has been with the Woody Herman Orchestra for nearly 40 years), Dave Riekenberg (who is a third of the ‘four brothers’ in the last version of the band that Herman led himself), and then John Nugent (who joined the orchestra shortly after Herman’s death.
