Part of a week long celebration of Jazz. To cap the week, WP Jazz Studies Director and renowned pianist Bill Charlap will bring his stellar trio to a summer performance for the first time. Charlap has fronted this group with bassist Peter Washington and drummer Kenny Washington for nearly 20 years. They have many best-selling recordings, have done multiple international tours, and have annual residencies at the Village Vanguard and Dizzy’s Club Coca Cola. Their recording with the legendary Tony Bennett won a 2016 Grammy, and their more recent Notes from New York has drawn great critical acclaim. Join us for this rousing culmination to a wonderful week of music!
