Special Trio performs at Christo's Pizzaria in Salem
Three of the regions finest players join forces for a special one night only presentation! David Friesen and John Stowell are some of the most innovative and forward thinking players of their respective instruments, being bass and guitar. This is also something of a reunion as David and John first met in New York City in 1976, and they formed a duo that recorded and toured prolifically for seven years, with performances in the United States, Canada, Europe and Australia. Their 1978 collaborative album "Through the Listening Glass" was chosen as one of the "Ten Best Jazz Albums of the Decade" by the Los Angeles Examiner. Do not miss this special night! "It’s been said of David Friesen that he does for the art of bass playing what Pythagoras did for the triangles." Patrick Hinely/Jazz Times "In the age of mediocrity and clones, John Stowell's uniqueness and originality are a breath of fresh air." Paul Horn
