Jazz at The Center: Piano Spectacular
The piano has been an integral part of the jazz idiom since its inception. A single piano can produce both melody and harmony – fill a stage with multiple pianos and magic starts to happen. This one-night-only event brings together four greats of the genre, plus special guests, for a jazz experience you won’t want to miss.
Pianists: Bill Charlap, Gerald Clayton, Benny Green, Helen Sung
With Special Guest: Pete Malinverni, Director of Jazz Studies, Purchase College
Featuring: Doug Weiss, bass and Kenny Washington, drums
