Jeff Denson Trio
May 31, 2014 @ 7:30 pm - 10:00 pm
$10 – $15
An embrace of traditional Jazz and new innovations
As one of jazz’s premier bassists Jeff Denson is always looking for situations that allow for maximum creative freedom, like his long-running gig with alto sax legend Lee Konitz, or the collective trio Minsarah. One of his two new duo albums, “I’ll Fly Away” which he worked on with Joshua White, who he met in 2005 studying at UC San Diego, showcases his virtuosity and exquisite musicality while providing a fascinating window into his vast range as an improviser. Joining Joshua White and Jeff Denson will be Jon Arkin, a Berkeley based drummer/percussionist who is also an active music educator as a faculty member for the Berkeley Jazzschool and the Stanford Jazz Workshop.
Jeff Denson – double bass & vocals
Joshua White – piano
Jon Arkin – drums
“Never satisfied to merely accept the role of a session player and with a forward thinking vision to expand his horizons as a leader, Jeff Denson is quickly moving up the improvisational food chain as one of the preeminent bassists in world.” –Brent Black – Bop-N-Jazz www.criticaljazz.com
