1/20/2017 Classical Meets Jazz: The Fred Moyer Trio at the California Jazz Conservatory

The Fred Moyer Jazz Trio brings a decidedly unique program to the California Jazz Conservatory on January 29th at 4:30 p.m. Blending his classical training with his passion for jazz, Fred Moyer, with Jeff Denson (bass) and Dillon Vado (drums), will offer selections that he himself transcribed from recordings of the great jazz pianists. Just as Fred plays the works of Beethoven, Chopin and many others in his classical concerts – note- for-note – he will perform the work of Vince Guaraldi, Oscar Peterson, Monty Alexander and others, infusing each transcribed composition with his own artistic sensitivity. The trio’s program will include “Freeway” (Guaraldi), “At Long Last Love” and “Blues Etude” (Peterson), selections from Ahmad Jamal (from the album “Live at the Pershing, But Not For Me”), “Feelings” (Alexander), as well as a selection of the trio’s own arrangements on “Witchcraft,” ” On The Street Where You Live,” “Autumn Leaves” and more.
