CFA presents "Cedar Walton Trio" @CCH 04/28...

[Greg Mouning]

Hey Jazzbuddies,

Center For the Arts (CFA) presents legendary pianist, composer and bandleader Cedar Walton and his trio. Walton's versatility, funky touch and cogent melodic sense have graced the recordings of many of jazz's greatest players. Having performed and recorded with such artists as John Coltrane, Sonny Rollins, J. J. Johnson, Art Farmer/Benny Golson Jazztet and Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers, Walton has earned a reputation as one of the most influential pianists in the history of jazz.

Joining Mr. Walton on stage will be bassist David Williams and drummer Yoron Israel. The Wesleyan Jazz Orchestra begins the concert, performing a short set of Walton's compositions!
