Zach Bartholomew: The Art of the Trio

Led by award-winning pianist Dr. Zachary Bartholomew, this performance pays tribute to the legendary trios that defined the genre—from Bill Evans, Oscar Peterson, and Ahmad Jamal to Herbie Hancock and Brad Mehldau. With a focus on intricate arrangements, group chemistry, and spontaneous creativity, each piece captures the essence of the trio as both a tight ensemble and a vehicle for expressive freedom.
