TRIOM-AI-1JAZZ BAKERY "MOVABLE FEAST"

“protean pianist Myra Melford, galvanizing bassist Mark Dresser and supremely musical drummer Matt Wilson, know no bounds on their instruments and don’t give a hang about boundaries; theirs is improvisation so empathetic,
they seem of one mind. ” - JazzTimes

“Melford’s mystical poeticism; Dresser’s expansive abstraction; and Wilson’s jubilant grooves... on paper these elements might seem like the recipe for volatility, but somehow this stunning diversity of style really works!” - New York Times

Kurt and the Standards TrioJAZZ BAKERY "MOVABLE FEAST"
SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 25TH, 2012, 8:30PM
MUSICIANS INSTITUTE CONCERT CENTER
1655 N. MCCADDEN PLACE, HOLLYWOOD, CA 90028

Rosenwinkel's current album of standards offers a clear view of Kurt as a jazz guru. He says “as a guitarist I just wanted to explore that open, beautiful space and I needed to hire the heaviest musicians I know to make a band.” (Those heavy players are: bassist Ugonna Okegwo and drummer Justin Faulkner)  “We are a collectively improvising band and I am not concerned with dictating direction at all.” ... sounds like we’re in for a great ride!

Pat Martino has been recognized as one of the most exciting and virtuosic guitarists in jazz with a distinctive, fat sound and gut-wrenching performances. “Martino represents the best not just in jazz, but in music!... He embodies thoughtful energy combined with soul.” - Jazz Times

“Djangirov is a pianistic blend of musical intelligence, organizational savvy, enthusiasm and prowess that is all the more impressive for seeming so casual…an ebullient impressionist.” - The New York Times

“Eldar gets to the heart of every song. In his hands the piano is a dramatic personage.” - Jazziz
