RESIDENT: KALEV KARLSON TRIO. CHET BAKER SONGBOOK
Wednesday, 4 June 9 p.m. at Philly Joe's Jazz Club
The Philly Joe’s Summer Residency programme provides a platform for talented young Estonian artists on the jazz scene! New ensembles, colourful programs and the opportunity to hear jazz and music with its influences from a new perspective on every concert evening - all this is offered by selected artists, week after week throughout the summer.
June’s resident is guitarist Kalev Karlson, whose concerts will take place on Wednesdays in June and during Midsummer week on Friday, June 27.
“Chet Baker Songbook”
Kalev Karlson Trio, a classically structured trio consisting of drums, bass and semi-acoustic jazz guitar pays homage to the famous American trumpeter Chet Baker. The ensemble will take on Baker’s repertoire, which mostly consisted of popular songs from the first half of the last century that over time became jazz standards. The trio is characterized by the search for beautiful improvisational melodies and sensitive music making together.
“Music is the greatest form of communication, it speaks directly to the heart.” - Chet Baker
