TRIOLOGY – Jazz at the Griff

The Jazz at the Griff series, presented by Trail & District Arts Council, brings you Triology. Enjoy the jazz club vibe as you savour a glass of wine in a setting that is up close and personal with the band.

Triology is a supergroup of award-winning Canadian jazz musicians – Jodi Proznick on bass, Miles Black on piano and Bill Coon on guitar, who have joined forces to form one of Canada’s finest jazz trios. All three members have won numerous accolades over the years including JUNO nominations, National Jazz Awards, Galaxie Rising Star Awards and Western Canadian Music Awards, and have shared the stage with jazz stars such as Lewis Nash, George Coleman, David Fathead Newman, Ed Thigpen, Clark Terry, Max Roach, and Harry “Sweets” Edison.

Formed in 2008 and fashioned after the great early jazz trios of Nat King Cole and Oscar Peterson, they will be performing wonderful impromptu arrangements of classic standards and original tunes. This is a show you don’t want to miss.

Some of the legendary talents she has accompanied: Lewis Nash, George Coleman, David Fathead Newman, Ed Thigpen, Charles McPherson, Mark Murphy and Sheila Jordan.
