JAZZ PIANIST RICHARD SUSSMAN featuring Special Guest RICH PERRY-Tenor Sax with Jay Anderson-bass & Jeff Hirshfield-drums • At Maureen's Jazz Cellar

Long acknowledged as an accomplished and innovative jazz pianist, arranger, composer, and educator, with a long list of credits, Richard Sussman has been passionately exploring the inner and outer frontiers of contemporary musical expression throughout his entire career.  His ground-breaking “Evolution Suite” for Jazz Quintet, String Quartet, and Electronics, was selected as one of the top CDs of 2017 by Downbeat.  For this performance, Richard will turn his attention to interpretations of jazz standards, as well as his own uniquely original compositions and the original music of jazz piano legend Hank Jones.

 

With a career at the forefront of New York’s jazz scene for nearly four decades, Rich Perry is considered by many to be one of the music’s most lyrical, inventive, and impassioned improvisers. He can be heard every Monday night with the Village Vanguard Orchestra where he’s been the band’s lead tenor player for nearly two decades. Over the years he’s also been featured with the Maria Schneider Orchestra, George Mraz, Fred Hersch, and Rufus Reid among many others.
