Larry Fuller Trio

Thu, Dec 11

"He sprinkles stardust on whatever song he plays; you hold your breath in wonder." ~ The New York Times "For anyone steeped in jazz, it just can't get much better" ~ Mark Sheldon, Downbeat critic Since touring with Ray Brown in early 2000s, pianist Larry Fuller has built a reputation as one of the hardest-swinging pianists on the scene.  Fuller learned his craft the 'old school' way - on the bandstand in some of the most legendary jazz ensembles:  The Ray Brown Trio, Jeff Hamilton Trio, John Pizzarelli Quartet, and as pianist/musical director for vocal giant Ernestine Anderson. The NYC-based Larry Fuller Trio is known for its super-swinging, emotive style, and program versatility.  In his programming, Fuller includes the Great American Songbook, jazz, blues, pop standards, and originals, always bringing his own take on the music.  At The Grape, expect to hear anything from Oscar Peterson to Ray Brown, Wes Montgomery to Stevie Wonder, George Gershwin to Joni Mitchell - and much more. Completing The Larry Fuller Trio is Lorin Cohen on bass (Monty Alexander Trio) and Carmen Intorre, Jr. on drums (Joey DeFrancesco).
