I am delighted to announce a jazz concert that I am playing on Thursday, January 12 (the day before the Old Russian New Year, for those who know what that is). It is called "Old Jazz with a New Twist", featuring favorite works by Duke Ellington and others, rearranged for violin and piano -- some in a traditional style and some gypsy-style. The pianist is Joe Reid; I last played with Joe in early 2010, when we did a short jazz concert for a radio station in the Boston area. I love playing jazz, and often include a couple of jazz pieces in my concerts, but this is my first full-length all-jazz concert!! It will be at 8PM in Cafe St. Petersburg in Newton Center.
