Enjoy three solo performances in a “jazz summit” with keyboard marvels Cedar Walton, Jacky Terrasson, and Hiromi. Each will take a turn offering selections from their personal storehouses of distinctive music.

Cedar Walton, hard bop jazz pianist, was named the National Endowment for the Arts Jazz Master for 2010, the nation’s highest honor in jazz. Jacky Terrasson, winner of the distinctive Thelonious Monk International Jazz Piano Competition and two-time Grammy nominee, has been celebrated here and in his native France.

Keyboardist-composer Hiromi Uehara has electrified audiences and critics on both hemispheres. She has performed and recorded with pianist and mentor, Chick Corea, as well as the Stanley Clarke Trio, and has released distinctive solo albums.

 Enjoy this unique evening of solo piano times three.
