The Jazzschool Piano Sale
2-time Grammy winning pianist Alan Broadbent and legendary bassist Harvie S return to the piano store for an evening of standards and some originals they have recorded together. After decades of playing many duo gigs together, they seem to read each others minds. “Their impromptu style, avoiding written arrangements and even rehearsals, succeeds because they are like-minded and share the same unwritten musical maxims.” –Betsy Reed, Guardian USA
JAZZ PIANO MASTERS SERIES
“As a classical-turned-jazz artist, one of the things I have come to love the most about this American art form is its generous, communal heart: this is music made together, played together, and enjoyed together.”
Larry Vuckovich returns to the piano store with his all-star ensemble. The crisp, bright, clean unison sound of marimba and guitar beautifully projects the melodic repertoire of this ensemble’s world music jazz mix: swingin’ bebop/Afro-Cuban salsa + boleros/Balkan ethnic Middle Eastern/boogaloo bluesy funky sounds, Larry Vuckovich on piano, Tommy Kesecker on marimba, Kai Lyons on guitar, Hector Lugo on Latin percussion and vocals, John Wiitala on bass, and Akira Tana on drums.
