Tenor saxophonist Abraham Burton and drummer Eric McPherson have been prominent figures on the international jazz scene for more than 30 years. The pair have honed a distinctive style that often invokes positive comparisons to John Coltrane’s classic quartet of the 1960s. Their performance will be a reunion of sorts with pianist Taber Gable, with whom they have shared the bandstand on many occasions. https://www.knoxjazz.org/calendar/2023/10/22/live-at-lucilles-abraham-burton-and-eric-mcpherson

On Friday October 20th the “Pinta”, a Replica of a Portuguese Caravel used by Columbus and many early explorers will open as a “floating museum” for dockside educational tours. The Ship will be docked at Calhoun’s on the River, 400 Neyland Dr, Knoxville, TN 37902 until her departure October 30th.

In 2005, the Pinta was Launched in Brazil after 3 years of Construction. The Ship was built by 8th Generation Portuguese Shipwrights using the same methods and hand tools that were used to build the original in the 15th Century. The Pinta was the first Ship to sight land on the famous voyage of discovery on October 12th, 1492.
Historians consider the “Caravel” the space shuttle of the 15th Century and was used as early as the 13th Century and into the 16th Century. The Caravel was mainly used as a typical trading vessel along the Mediterranean and African Coast before being used for Transatlantic Voyages to open up new trading routes all over the World.

The general public is invited to step back in time & explore the Pinta for self guided tours from the 20th-29th October from 9:00a-5:00p daily. No reservations are necessary. Tickets are purchased at the Ship and prices are $8.00 for Adults, $7.00 for Seniors/Military (65+), and $6.00 for Children (5 - 16). Children 4 and under are Free.
Teachers or organizations wishing to schedule a 30 minute guided tour with a crew member during the weekdays should go to www.ninapinta.org/tour/html. Group tours require a minimum of 15 people. Please call 251-293-4193 or email ninapintatour@gmail.com for any inquires.
