Description

WEAVE Presents jazz pianist & composer, Francesco Crosara with an all-star quartet featuring trumpeter Nathan Breedlove, bassist Phil Sparks, and drummer Max Holmberg.

The group will present original material, jazz standards revisited, and extemporaneous improvisations in a combination of formats that leverage the cultural heritage of the individual musicians and provide a unique experience for the public. Ranging from solo, to duets, to trios, and to the full quartet, the varied program promises eclectic, lyrical, and exuberant music.

"A pianist who originally hails from Italy, Crosara is well-versed in bop lore, and his delicate flow might indicate a debt to Bill Evans." - Down Beat Magazine

"Crosara’s compositions are considerate of their audience, providing a source of joy, comfort, escape, and healing. Crosara believes jazz is a collective experience and a “living language” that distills a multitude of identities, backgrounds, and personalities." - Earshot Jazz
