Join us for our next installment of Piano Starts Here: The Music of Oscar Peterson/Gil Evans "swingin' down the St. Lawrence". To close out the season, we pair one of the greatest arrangers and one of the greatest pianists in Jazz history. Both were Canadian by birth, both had a huge influence on American Jazz music.
The Piano Starts Here series highlights the work of some of the most prolific and talented composers and pianists to have ever tackled the instrument. Each of the performances brings together Seattle’s finest pianists to perform the works of the artist selected for that evening on the Royal Room’s Steinway B grand piano. Past PSH performances have highlighted the work of Sonny Clark, Thelonious Monk, Duke Ellington, Sun Ra, Annette Peacock, Bill Evans, Mary-Lou Williams, Fats Waller, Herbie Hancock, Alice Coltrane, Herbie Nichols, and countless others.
Curated by Wayne Horvitz and Alex Guilbert. Hosted by Alex Guilbert.
