Point Richmond Jazz presents 'Five Play' with the PR JAZZ String Quartet
Come hear the Melodic Jazz Stylings of FivePlay + the PR Jazz String Quartet ...
Veteran Bay Area jazz Quintet, Five Play with guitarist Tony Corman, pianist Laura Klein, Dave Tidal on reeds, Alan Hall drums and Paul Smith bass, will be joined by the newly formed PR Jazz String Quartet with Anthony Blea and Kit Eakle on violins, Emily Onderdonk, viola, and Lewis Patzner, 'cello, in an evening of original music by members of the 2 groups, including Tony Corman, Kit Eakle, Laura Klein, and Emily Onderdonk.
This is an exciting and rare opportunity to hear these two groups playing both together and individually, and promises to be a highlight of the Point Richmond Jazz season. Their blend of a standard jazz format, a nod to the Third Stream movement of the 50's and modern string driven jazz is both unique and richly vital.
