Now in its third season at Sevenars, the sensational Sparky Quartet, formed in tribute to late master clarinetist Bob Sparkman, has long roots at Sevenars starting from Bob’s collaborations with treasured pianist and composer Clifton J. “Jerry” Noble, Jr (“Bob and Jerry”). With wonderfully versatile bassist Kara Noble, their jazz trio wizardry became a tradition as a Sevenars finale – no season could end without them!

In 2023, after Bob left this world, they brought on board the inimitable Chris Devine on violin and flute and the extraordinary Jon Van Eps on percussion and became officially the Sparky Quartet. Together they make magic! Clifton J. “Jerry” Noble, Jr. is admired as composer and pianist throughout the United States and internationally, both as a classical artist and in jazz improvisation. Kara Noble brings her miraculous gifts on guitar, vocals, and just about everything else. Chris Devine, brilliant violinist/flutist plays in a multitude of styles and instruments (and whose bio includes collaborating with Ritchie Blackmore of Deep Purple), and rounding off the quartet is John Van Eps, multifaceted marimbist, composer, and producer (whose credits include producing remixes of Robert Lamm of Chicago).
They brought the house down in 2024 and will again! www.chrisdevine.com www.cliftonjnoblejr.com
