I will be playing a solo set in an evening program along with my good friends The Westerlies, a stellar brass quartet from New York. Their most recent recording Wherein Lies the Good features a gorgeous arrangement of my solo piano composition of the same name.

Formed in 2011, the self-described “accidental brass quartet” takes its name from the prevailing winds that travel from the West to the East. “Skilled interpreters who are also adept improvisers” (NPR’s Fresh Air), The Westerlies explore jazz, roots and chamber music influences to create the rarest of hybrids: music that is both "folk-like and composerly, lovely and intellectually rigorous” (NPR Music). Equally at home in concert halls and living rooms, The Westerlies navigate a wide array of venues and projects with the precision of a string quartet, the audacity of a rock band, and the charm of a family sing-along.

This is one event in a series called Westerlies Fest which runs from Feb.6 - 9 in various Seattle venues. Highly recommended!
