We are excited to bring you this event, in collaboration with Origins Jazz Series Co-founder, Eli Uttal-Veroff!
The Melroy Presents, The Joel Frahm Trio
Tuesday, November 11 in our main lounge.
It’s easy to see how Joel Frahm carved out an illustrious career in the New York City and then Nashville. When you read reviews of his albums and performances you get a clear picture of a saxophonist carrying the tradition forward with his powerful sound: “…the influences of John Coltrane’s big-bodied sound”, “...has a brawny tenor sax sound”, “Frahm follows in the footsteps of Sonny Rollings, Joe Henderson, and Joe Lovano”. In other words, he is a jazz musician’s jazz musician who employs equal parts creativity, virtuosic technique, and a keen sense of emotion in his playing.
You also hear repeatedly about the fluency, energy and spontaneity of his new trio with bassist Dan Loomis and drummer Ernesto Cervini. Through their eloquence and individual power, the group makes the complexity of playing without a pianist a feature, not a bug. In this performance you’ll hear original tunes that are fresh but rooted in a warm familiarity from the jazz tradition.
