JOEL FORRESTER - ALL FRIDAYS IN AUGUST
An underground, nostalgic jazz night.
Versatile and accomplished jazz pianist Joel Forrester performs as part of his August residency. As the composer of more than 1600 tunes and leader of his own quintet and co-leader of the legendary Microscopic Septet, Forrester is a prolific recording artist who also penned the theme to NPR's Fresh Air. His performances draw from an extraordinary diversity of styles including stride, boogie-woogie, bebop, trance, and what he describes as "salon pieces," with each composition bearing the stamp of his unique individual artistry.
