SUMMARY:Aaron Goldberg Trio with Reuben Rogers and Kendrick Scott
DESCRIPTION: \nAaron Goldberg Trio with Reuben Rogers and Kendrick Scott\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Side Door Old Lyme\, CT\nFriday\, September 4  •  8 PM – 10 PM\n\n\n\nOne of jazz’s most compelling pianists brings his celebrated trio\, featuring Reuben Rogers and Kendrick Scott\, to The Side Door \n\n\n\n\n\nAaron Goldberg – Piano\nReuben Rogers – Bass\nKendrick Scott – Drums \nThe New York Times has called Aaron Goldberg a “post-bop pianist of exemplary taste and range”\, and over a career spanning three decades he has more than earned that distinction. Born in Boston\, Goldberg discovered jazz in high school under the guidance of bassist Bob Sinicrope\, and later studied with saxophonist Jerry Bergonzi before moving to New York at seventeen to attend the New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music. DownBeat magazine has praised his “quick witted harmonic reflexes\, fluid command of line\, and cut-to-the-chase sense of narrative logic.” \nGoldberg’s career has placed him at the center of some of jazz’s most important collaborations. He toured extensively with Joshua Redman\, joined the bands of Kurt Rosenwinkel and Wynton Marsalis\, and performed worldwide with the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra. He has also collaborated with Charles Lloyd\, Madeleine Peyroux\, Betty Carter\, Freddie Hubbard\, and Guillermo Klein\, among many others\, and somehow found time to earn a master’s degree in philosophy from Tufts along the way. He is a Steinway artist and a member of the celebrated collaborative trio Yes! with Omer Avital and Ali Jackson Jr. \nBassist Reuben Rogers and Goldberg formed one of jazz’s most acclaimed working trios\, releasing five celebrated albums together between 1998 and 2014\, and reuniting in the studio in recent years to continue that twenty-five-year musical fellowship. Joining them is drummer Kendrick Scott\, one of the most sought-after and inventive drummers of his generation. Together\, this is a trio of extraordinary depth\, taste\, and telepathic interplay\, a rare and special night of piano trio jazz at its finest. \nThe Side Door Jazz Club is a dedicated jazz listening room located inside the historic Old Lyme Inn\, 85 Lyme Street\, Old Lyme\, CT. Tickets are reserved seating. Guests dining at the Old Lyme Inn prior to the show receive 10% off their dinner bill. \n\n\n\n\n  \n
