Monday, February 8, 8 PM.
Most musicians would be daunted by the Groundhog Day
Jam preceding them, but pianist Rio Clemente has the nerve -- and the chops
-- to ride their wave and attract his own audience besides. He never fails
to come up with a varied program for us, and on this solo date there will be
no constraints at all. Likely to be a fairly full room for this one. He'll
give you a preview of the skills he'll exhibit at the revived Piano
Spectacular in May.
A promoter for another series writes that Rio "mixes a strong classical background with a rich knowledge of jazz history, then adds an amazing sense of creativity and interpretation. The result is a smorgasbord of music that is different from others, and nearly always produces a standing ovation and cries for more." We couldn't say it better ourselves. Weekday concerts at The Bickford are one long set, from 8 to 9:30 PM, allowing working people to attend and still get home at a decent hour. The tab is reasonable too: only $15 in advance, $18 at the door (less for Morris Museum members). Pick up your prepaid tickets in the express line that night (suggested), or have them mailed for $1 per order (if you insist). Ticket info below. The New Jesey Jazz Society is a proud co-sponsor of Jazz at the Bickford Theater. |
