About this Event
Ben Allison · Bass
Steve Cardenas · Guitar
Ted Nash · Saxophone
Modeled after the intimate, drummerless trios of Jimmy Giuffre in the 1950s, Allison, Cardenas & Nash have spent over a decade building one of the most distinctive sounds in jazz — deeply conversational, rooted in blues and folk, and wide open to wherever the music leads. The trio arrives fresh off the April release of Triological on Sunnyside Records — their most personal album yet, featuring original compositions from each member for the first time.
Ben Allison · Bass In a career spanning over 30 years, Ben Allison has developed an instantly identifiable sound as a bassist, composer, producer, and educator. JazzTimes recognized him as "a visionary composer, adventurous improviser, and strong organizational force on the New York City jazz scene." He founded the Jazz Composers Collective at just 25, has appeared on over 100 albums, and composed the theme for NPR's On the Media, heard by 1.5 million listeners a week.
Steve Cardenas · Guitar Steve Cardenas began his musical career in Kansas City and has been a fixture of the New York jazz scene since 1995. A longtime member of the Paul Motian Electric Bebop Band, Charlie Haden Liberation Music Orchestra, and Steve Swallow Quintet, he is also a respected educator on faculty at The New School and co-author of the Thelonious Monk Fakebook — the first time all of Monk's compositions were assembled in a single volume.
Ted Nash · Saxophone A two-time Grammy Award winner and longtime member of the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis, Ted Nash has had an extraordinary career as a performer, composer, and conductor. DownBeat called him "one of the most together saxophonists of his generation." His 2017 big band album Presidential Suite, inspired by great political speeches of the 20th century, earned him two Grammys and the Jazz Journalists Association's Composer of the Year award.
