DAVID HAAS, pianist, much influenced by master musician, experimenter, JOSEPH MANERI, leads an outstanding ensemble of seven accomplished musicians from Boston and New England – musicians who have known each other for years, no new kids on the block - holding a monthly series - yet out of the media limelight thus unknown to you?…(to discover)!
Unrehearsed…but not a jam session, a discovery of something from music that is focused on the moment; yet creating a unity—there is structure, too—through improvisation; involved and waiting for the moments to enter, expressing individuality; deep listening…
Master musicians on their instruments & craft. There is a more than the physical element of playing that ebbs and flows with the music, a spirit that you will feel…
