Thursday Jan 30 7:00pm Judy Wexler & the Larry Koonse Trio – TICKETS ($17/$12)
LA-based vocalist Judy Wexler has a pliably warm, lustrous sound and displays an unerring ear for underexposed gems. All About Jazz says, “Judy Wexler is more than a mere singer of songs, she is an actress, mood painter, song archaeologist and vocalist par excellence.” Her fifth CD, a collaboration with piano great Alan Pasqua, presents an anthology of ten modern jazz compositions by contemporary songwriters. Ted Gioia, author of The Jazz Standards and The History of Jazz says, “What a joy to listen to this album, both for the exquisite music-making of Judy Wexler and Alan Pasqua, but also for their astuteness in finding and featuring outstanding songs by current-day jazz composers.” Judy’s CDs have topped the national JazzWeek charts and received enthusiastic reviews, including two profiles on NPR Weekend Edition. She’ll be joined by Larry Koonse on guitar, Dave Robaire on bass, and Conor Malloy on drums.
