Thursday, March 18, Tanner Taylor Trio (9pm, $5) |
Pianist Tanner Taylor moved to the Twin Cities from Jefferson, Iowa, in 2001, and Minnesota jazz fans’ jaws have been dropping ever since. Tanner is a young talent who always wows a crowd, whether he’s applying his signature simpatico accompaniment to the work of top vocalists, performing with groups like world beat artists Tickle Fight, backing greats including David “Fathead” Newman and Lew Tabackin, or leading his own trio. Last year Taylor starred in a concert payed tribute to one of his primary muses, the late great Oscar Peterson, it was regarded as one of the highlights of the Twin Cities Jazz Society’s “Jazz from J to Z” concert series.Check out these videos: |

Friday, March 19 - Saturday, March 20, Eric Kamau Gravatt & Source Code (9 pm, $12). |
Eric Kamau Gravatt is known around the globe for his incredible drumming work with Weather Report , Joe Henderson, McCoy Tyner and many others. Eric was raised in Philadelphia, and has lived in the Twin Cities for several years. (His local performances, however, are as rare as his talent. Road work with McCoy and other musical ventures keep him off Twin Cities stages for the most part.) The great Wayne Shorter said, “Eric was the one. Miles wanted him, but he came to us in Weather Report.” The powerful Source Code interprets the works of artists like John Coltrane and Jackie McLean. In addition to Eric Kamau Gravatt on drums, Source Code reads Mary Louise Knutson (piano), Dave Leigh (trombone), Jim Marentic (sax), and Ron Evaniuk (bass). |

Sunday, March 21, Pooch's Playhouse - TCJS Jazz from J to Z Concert (7:00 pm, $10 cover) |
|
Pooch’s Playhouse features Bruce “Pooch” Heine on bass, guitarist Joel Shapira, saxophonist Dave Brittain, pianist Mark Asche and percussionist Dave Schmalenberger. These musicians have a number of interconnections—Shapira and Heine play together in the modern trio, Triplicate; Heine, Asche and Brittain perform together with the Cedar Avenue Big Band; Shapira has played with everyone in one context or another.Notes Shapira, “To me this group was a very natural fit...it felt good from day one and developed rapidly into something special to all members that we want to expand upon in the future...I would describe the music as diversely influenced,  adventurous and open-ended, but we are first and foremost a pure jazz group, that is the intention of this band... and we are proud of that fact.” - Andrea Canter, Jazz Police
This event is a part of the Twin Cities Jazz Society's "Jazz from J to Z" concert series. TCJS Members get a discount at the door, For more infrmation, visit www.tcjs.org |
