Ken French Trio
CD release celebration and San Francisco premier of new works for jazz piano trio.
Ken French, piano; Ron Belcher, bass; Jim Zimmerman, drums
What happens when three seasoned accompanists—players who are among the favorites of the world-class stars with whom they work—show up at the same gig to accompany… each other?! Hear the musical magic when this talented rhythm section takes front stage to perform music they love, celebrating their new CD release, TRIO. Inspired by the rich tradition of jazz piano trios from Ahmad Jamal to Keith Jarrett, this ensemble will drop listeners into the groove from the first beat, keep the party going with classics from the American songbook, and turn up the heat with their original pieces.
