Together they continuously strive for transparency in their performances, framing each song’s improvised narrative in a playful three- way conversation. Their use of world-rhythms, rich modern harmonies and melodic song-based forms creates music that is at once recognizable and yet wholly new.

This is my “jazz piano trio.” We continuously strive for transparency in our sound, framing each song’s improvised narrative in what we hope is a playful three-way conversation. My tunes use world-rhythms, rich modern harmonies and melodic song-based forms to create music that is at once recognizable and with a commitment to the present tense that makes it instantly new.

See-Through Quartet
7:00 pm to 9:00 pmThis jazz quartet plays all originals of mine – the reason I am calling it the “See-Through Quartet” is that we are playing with Brian O’Neill on hand-percussion.
His sound is transparent – and usually very quiet. One can better hear the conversation among all four of us.
Rick DiMuzio – clarinet and curved soprano sax
Matt Stavrakas – upright bass
me – piano
No cover charge. Great Thai food and wonderful listening crowd.
