Renowned bassist Rufus Reid brings his Out Front Trio, with Duduka DaFonseca & Steve Allee, to the Nashville Jazz Workshop's Jazz Cave Friday and Saturday, March 27 and 28. The group will perform 8 p.m. concerts each night and a series of morning and afternoon workshops on Saturday.
Rufus Reid's Out Front Trio is the next stage in his long and distinguished career. Making its debut in 2010 with the CD Out Front, the trio features virtuoso improvisation and interplay between its members.
A major milestone in Rufus Reid's career is his orchestral project, Quiet Pride: The Elizabeth Catlett Project. A series of compositions inspired by the work of the late artist Elizabeth Catlett, the project garnered two Grammy nominations. The entire Quiet Pride project was recorded and is usually performed with an orchestra, but parts of it can be and are performed in a trio setting.
The Jazz Workshop is delighted to be able to bring the entire trio for a great weekend of jazz. This is a weekend you won't want to miss!
The performances will be at 8 p.m. on Friday and Saturday and workshops at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. on Saturday.
