Original show description below.
These four exclusive concerts bring together three of the greatest artists in jazz today, including pianist Brad Mehldau, bassist Christian McBride and drummer Marcus Gilmore.
Described by The New York Times as “the most influential jazz pianist of the last 20 years,” Mehldau has done more to extend and refine the piano trio’s possibilities than any artist in the last quarter century.
“One of the premier musicians of his generation” (DownBeat), McBride is an eight-time GRAMMY winner and former SFJAZZ Resident Artistic Director who is widely regarded as the premier jazz bassist in the 21st century and an innovative composer and bandleader.
An heir to jazz royalty as the grandson of iconic drummer Roy Haynes, Gilmore is a remarkably dynamic musician known for his work with Vijay Iyer, Chick Corea, Nicholas Payton, Steve Coleman, Gonzalo Rubalcaba, and Ravi Coltrane.
These exclusive concerts feature a supergroup trio that includes pianist Brad Mehldau, bassist Christian McBride and drummer Marcus Gilmore.
