Pianist Michael Arnowitt is joined by Clyde Stats on upright bass and Keith Gibson on drums in a colorful and diverse program of jazz past and present. They will perform jazz classics by Herbie Hancock, Pat Metheny,   and Bill Evans, along with Michael Arnowitt’s versions of jazz standards such as There Will Never Be Another You and Autumn Leaves. Their program also features  selections from Michael Arnowitt’s Jazz Suite from West Side Story, his arrangements of Gershwin’s My Man’s Gone Now from Porgy and Bess and the Beatles’ Eleanor Rigby, and some of Arnowitt’s original music from his jazz album Sweet Spontaneous. The trio will also play two of the pianist’s jazz arrangements of classical music, one based on Bartok’s Roumanian Dance no. 1, and “Burana Bop,” based on musical material from Carl Orff’s exciting and dramatic Carmina Burana.
