September 6: Alex Terrier Quartet - Kendall Square at noon

Saxophonist Alex Terrier is a native of Paris, France. Terrier graduated from the Lycee de Sevres and studied at the National School of Music before earning a scholarship to attend Berklee, where he was awarded the Joseph Viola Scholarship and the Herb Pomeroy Award. He performed with, and composed for, three of the best jazz bands at the college: the Concert Jazz Orchestra, the Rainbow Big Band, and the Rainbow All Stars. Terrier toured Costa Rica last year and recorded Stop Requested for Aphrodite Records, his first album as a leader.

Jazz Revelation Records presents the third annual Kendall Square Concert Series, and is collaborating for the first time with the Institute of Contemporary Art to present Harborwalk Sounds: Berklee at the ICA. Both series offer free live music on Thursdays throughout the summer (complete schedule of dates and times below). Artists include Berklee student and alumni jazz, world, Latin, and r&b musicians, some of whom are featured on the new Jazz Revelation Records CD The New Old School, including Jake Hertzog, MUNDuO, Mateo Lugo, Zili Misik, Daniel Ori, Alex Terrier, and Juan Ospina.

Jazz Revelation Records (JRR), Berklee's student-run jazz record label, was formed in the spring of 2003. The label is made possible by a grant funded by the college. Under previous management, Jazz Revelation Records successfully released the compilation CDs Rebirth, Two, and Ars Nova. Under the direction of current president Michael Borgida, the label has just released its fourth album, The New Old School. For the new CD, JRR gathered eight young, passionate, and committed artists from around the world, all speaking the traditional language of jazz in a new way.

The Kendall Square Concert Series take place at 300 Athenaeum St., Kendall Square, Cambridge, every Thursday, noon to 2:00 p.m., June 7–September 13. The Kendall Square Concert Series is sponsored by BioMed Realty Trust, Watermark Residences, and ConstellationCenter. For more information, please call 617 577-7354.
