On Thursday, October 8, TRIO 3 performs with special guest and New School alumni Andrew Bemkey on piano. TRIO 3 features Reggie Workman on bass, Andrew Cyrille on drums, and Oliver Lake on saxophone.

Fresh off the August release of At This Time, an album that followed their year-long tour across America, Europe, and beyond, TRIO 3 exemplifies pure musical symmetry.

On Thursday, November 12, Jazz faculty members Rachel Z, piano, and Charli Persip, drums, will perform with alumni Maeve Royce, bass, and Nick Roseboro, trumpet. Rachel Z has performed with Peter Gabriel, Wayne Shorter, and Al Di Meola. Her 2007 CD Dept. of Good and Evil was described by Andrea Canter of Jazz Police as “one of the most exciting piano-led recordings I’ve heard in the past year. ”

Both concerts start at 8:00 p.m. and will be held at The New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music Performance Space, 55 West 13th Street, 5th floor. General Admission is $10; free for students with valid ID and seniors. Reservations and inquiries can be made by emailing boxoffice@newschool.edu or calling 212.229.5488.
