2019 JAZZ IN JUNE FESTIVAL

Bill Charlap Trio

SATURDAY, JUNE 15, 2019

Venue Berlind Theatre

OVERVIEW

One of the best piano trios ever… Charlap’s playing provides convincing proof that it is still possible to create fresh but pertinent treatments of well-known standard songs.

The Guardian

For twenty years, Bill Charlap’s name has been synonymous with the Great American Songbook—you might even say he owns it. Whereas other jazzmen of his generation play the harmonies and the tune, this mainstream master plays the song—the whole song—with his innate sense of time, place, and melody. With his longtime collaborators Peter Washington on bass and Kenny Washington on drums, the trio long ago secured its place in the jazz pantheon. Their nine albums together (the latest is 2017’s Uptown, Downtown) have earned two Grammy nominations and belong in a time capsule to show future generations the art of the piano trio in our time.

Join us for a post-show conversation with Bill Charlap and WRTI’s Bob Craig.
