Born in Mt. Morris, tenor saxophonist Pat LaBarbera is a member of one of Upstate New York's legendary jazz families. (His brothers are drummer Joe LaBarbera and trumpeter John LaBarbera.) Since graduating from Berklee College of Music, he's played with Buddy Rich, Elvin Jones, and many others. Now a prominent educator in Toronto, LaBarbera still has great chops, which will be prominently on display when he sits in at the Strathallan this week.

Pat LaBarbera plays Friday, July 18, at 8:30 p.m. and Saturday, July 19, at 9:30 p.m. at the Grill at Strathallan, 550 East Ave. Free. 461-5010.
