This year’s Cornish Music Series features a collection of dynamic jazz performances in collaboration with local presenting organization Earshot Jazz and the 2009 Earshot Jazz Festival. Featured performers include the Matt Wilson Quartet, Trio M and Be Bread featuring Myra Melford, The Jim Knapp Orchestra, the East/West Double Trio, and Trio 3.
The heavy-weight line-up of performers includes music department faculty members Jim Knapp and his 15-piece jazz orchestra, Jay Thomas and the East/West Double Trio, visiting artists Matt Wilson and Myra Melford, and jazz masters Reggie Workman, Andrew Cyrille, and Oliver Lake of Trio 3. Known for “adventurous, spot-on programming” (Jazz Times) and praised as “one of the best festivals in America” (Seattle Times) the Earshot Jazz Festival brings jazz greats from around the world into creative collaboration with area artists and audiences.
