His many flashes of compositional genius bring much that is fresh, new and unexpected.” After nearly two decades of touring and recording, leading and co-leading projects, and working with some of the top names in jazz including Lee Konitz, Joe Lovano and Brian Blade, Jeff continues to evolve and explore new ideas and approaches to his work.

The True Side of Vince Guaraldi
Pianist Vince Guaraldi’s main claim to fame are his Charlie Brown/Peanuts compositions. However, he is much more than that. Vince excelled in playing swinging jazz/bebop, Afro-Cuban salsa, Brazilian, funky boogaloo blues + more. Being his only student and later becoming his piano partner in his 2 piano quartet, Powder Keg, I know his music firsthand. Here is an example of Vince’s creativity: he would listen to the latest pop tune once, and immediately come up with a hip jazz/Latin arrangement of that song. On Sunday, April 6 we will present the true side of Vince Guaraldi – playing his favorite repertoire spread out in various genres. Don’t miss this inspiring concert!
