LIVE at Piedmont Piano Company
JAZZ PIANO MASTERS SERIES
Laurence Hobgood ‘New Dimensions Trio’
Laurence Hobgood’s well-known motto, “Never the same way once!”, finds delightfully buoyant expression in the interaction with Ernesto Mazar Kindelán (bass) and Josh Jones (drums). Vibrant, spontaneous connection and an ebullient, playful spirit infuse the chemistry, recently discovered, between these three veteran improvisers. From un-mined facets of “chestnut” standards to fresh takes on Laurence’s original compositions, this evening will be infused with passion and merriment!
