The Clifford Lamb Trio capture the essence of summertime jazz: smooth and melodious with a refreshing spritz of surprise. With Cindy Blackman Santana on drums, Buster Williams on Bass, and Clifford Lamb behind the helm on piano, the jazz ensemble bridge the gap between the past and the present by bringing classics, such as Gershwin’s "Summertime,” back into the light. Lamb’s musicality also drive the trio’s efforts to innovate such classics with a measure of restraint that honors the integrity of the original work.

George J. Gilliam is a much-loved jazz guitarist with a depth of talent that stands out in every performance and recording. With influences such as Wes Montgomery, Barney Kessel and George Benson, listening becomes a sheer pleasure. Always accompanied by an “A-Team” of musicians, his quartet captures the ear with an energetic modern jazz feel or mellow your soul with rich relaxing tones.

Aug 24 at 8 PM: Arts Garage presents the Tal Cohen Jazz Ensemble. "A special talent that needs to be heard… Check him out!” – DownBeat Jazz Magazine

Tal Cohen’s unique piano style owes its roots to the Jewish folk songs and classical music he played in his formative years growing up in Israel. After moving to Australia at the age of 16, Tal continued his music studies at the prestigious Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts, where he completed his Bachelor degree jazz performance.

Currently, Tal is attending the University of Miami in the United States, where he received a full scholarship and teaching assistantship to complete his Masters degree under the mentorship of Martin Bejerano. During his time in the states he has had the opportunity to play with drummer Jeff “Tain” Watts, and West Coast-based trumpeter John Daversa.

One of the highlights of Tal’s career occurred when he received a call from Grammy Award-winning trumpeter and composer Terence Blanchard to play a show with his Quintet at the Grammy Museum in Los Angeles. Blanchard also invited him to perform with the “Terence Blanchard Quintet” at the New Orleans Jazz Festival. Most recently, Tal appeared at the Perth Jazz Festival alongside acclaimed New York saxophonist Greg Osby.

“Tal Cohen is one of the brightest stars playing the piano to come along in a long time and has the promise of being at the top of the curve changing our minds about music.” –Terence Blanchard, DownBeat
