Jazz Arts Trio
September 27, 2009, 2:30p.m.

Classical pianist Frederick Moyer, a favorite of BCA audiences for more than 25 years, returns to Brasstown with the Jazz Arts Trio (Fred Moyer, piano; Peter Tillotson, bass; Peter Fraenkel, drums). The Trio, through note-for-note transcriptions of historic moments in piano jazz, is keeping alive the best trio performances of such piano giants as Oscar Peterson, Bill Evans, Vince Guaraldi, Erroll Garner, Horace Silver, Herbie Hancock, and Chick Corea. However, the trio does not simply imitate; the musicians infuse the music with their own vitality and interpretations. This “classical” approach to jazz breaks down genre boundaries, delighting both jazz and classical enthusiasts.
