CRAIG TABORN TRIO
Craig Taborn piano, Thomas Morgan bass, Gerald Cleaver drums
Those who like exciting, innovative piano playing simply can’t ignore Craig Taborn. The American keyboardist is currently number one in the Downbeat Critics Polls, in the categories Rising Star Piano and Electronic Keyboard. He first gained attention as sideman with James Carter and Chris Potter. The improvised music of his trio touches on classical, ambient and gamelan music, with jazz and blues as anchors. ‘At the heart of Mr. Taborn’s enterprise is a fascination with pure sound’ (New York Times).
