SUMMARY:Rick Forschino Trio Performing the Music of Cedar Walton
DESCRIPTION:Jazz at The Cherry is pleased to welcome back to our stage one of the Peninsula’s favorites\, Rick Forschino and his trio.  Rick will once again share his skillful interpretation of another established jazz great.  In his past performances at the Cherry\, he has explored the works of Michel Petrucciani and Enrico Pieranunzi.For this performance the trio will turn its attention to stalwart bebop pianist Cedar Walton (1934-2013). \nWalton enjoyed a distinguished career that placed him among jazz royalty.  He performed with such notable artists as: Lou Donaldson\, Sonny Rollins\, Kenny Dorham\, J.J. Johnson\, Art Farmer\, and Benny Golson. His years with Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers helped cement his reputation.  He later anchored rhythm sections for Milt Jackson\, Frank Morgan\, Dexter Gordon and vocalists Ernestine Anderson and Freddy Cole. His trio with Ron Carter and Billy Higgins further distinguished him as one of the most accomplished musicians in jazz history. \nForschino became a Cedar Walton fan after seeing him perform live in the 1980s and was captivated by his compositions which bridged modern and classic jazz.  This performance will showcase Walton’s modern harmonies\, distinctive compositional ideas\, and the unique style that secured his place as a jazz legend. \nJoining Rick for this outstanding show will be versatile bassist\, Bill DeLap and seasoned drummer\, Mike Shannon. \nPerformance Sunday\, August 23rd\, at 2pm. Doors open at 1:30pm for wine and light fare included in the $45 ticket price. Tickets can be purchased on Eventbrite.com.

Eleven albums\, two EPs\, and multiple singles later\, her work has landed in film and television including *So You Think You Can Dance*\, *Dawson’s Creek*\, and *Here on Earth*\, and on compilations alongside Sarah McLachlan\, Aimee Mann\, and Norah Jones.
