Experience straight-ahead jazz with the Steve Haines Trio, featuring the powerhouse rhythm section of internationally renowned pianist Joey Calderazzo, bassist Steve Haines and drummer Kobie Watkins. Having locked into a swinging musical language for over 15 years, they provide a propulsive foundation that serves both the curiosity and soulfulness of the jazz tradition. The trio is joined by a heavyweight saxophonist and luminary Gregory Tardy. He brings a fresh, creative spark to this group, providing spontaneous melodies for the rhythm section. This performance promises an evening of world-class musicianship, characterized by interplay, deep grooves, and the kind of improvisation that only happens when seasoned masters share the stage.  |
