pianist Gerald Clayton Quartet: Sat. Sept. 28... 8 pm

Synergy captures truth...

Capturing the truth in each moment of sound comes naturally to four-time Grammy-nominated pianist/composer, Gerald Clayton. With his dense new album, Tributary Tales (Motema), Clayton acknowledges the influence of new people and sounds on his music and life. From straight-ahead-player who grew up on the west coast in a family of jazz heavies to New-York-Musician, Gerald charts his own path. His current band establishes a groove that teems with the complexity of New York’s current jazz-vanguard while featuring performances that are seamless and utterly natural.

This performance is made possible, in part, by funding from the National Endowment for the Arts through a grant from the Western Jazz Presenters Network.
