Robert Glasper Trio and Joe Lovano Quartet - April 11, 2008
WILLIAMSTOWN - The Williamstown Jazz Festival presents a double bill for the headliner concert. The Robert Glasper Trio will open for the Joe Lovano Quartet on Saturday, April 12, at 8:30 p.m. on the Mainstage of ‘62 Center on the Williams College Campus. Tickets are $20 Single Admission, $6 for students with valid ID. ‘62 Center Box Office: 413-597-2425.
Not long after the arrival of pianist Robert Glasper on the New York City jazz scene, Ben Ratliff of the New York Times declared that Glasper’s trio “deserves comparison with the best of the newer piano trios, those led by Jason Moran, Bill Charlap and Brad Mehldau.” So it’s fitting that Glasper has decided to feature his trio exclusively on IN MY ELEMENT, his latest release for Blue Note Records. Joined again by his compatriots Vicente Archer on bass and Damion Reid on drums, Glasper displays musical maturity well beyond his 27 years, articulating bold ideas about what a jazz piano trio can achieve in the new millennium.
Saxophonist Joe Lovano’s quartet will be paying tribute to the legendary tenor saxophonist Dewey Redman who passed away a year ago last August. Joe had a special place in his heart for Dewey. Over the last decade they played and recorded together in many different musical configurations. Joe will be accompanied by the trio of Frank Kimbrough (piano), John Menegon (bass), and Matt Wilson (drums) who played behind Dewey Redman for several years before his passing.
The festival is sponsored by the Williams Department of Music, ‘62 Center, Greylock Federal Credit Union, Berkshire Bank, Gala, Orchards Hotel, Spice Root, St. Johns, The Williams Inn, Berkshire Hills Motel, Banknorth, Café Latino, JAM, MASS MoCA, Williams College Museum of Art, The High Meadow Foundation, The Mohawk Trail Association, and Williamstown Chamber of Commerce. |
