Ahmad Jamal Tribute Concert with Alfred Yun Trio
Alfred Yun and his trio will pay tribute to the great pianist and composer, Ahmad Jamal in celebration of Jazz Appreciation Month. Expect to hear groovy, relaxing, and introspective jazz. This is a free event sponsored by the American Federation of Musicians and the Loudoun Jazz Society.
Alfred Yun, piano
David Jernigan, bass
Chris Barrick, drums
Ahmad Jamal (1930-2023) was recognized as an NEA Jazz Master and received the GRAMMY Lifetime Achievement Award. He led one of the must influential jazz piano trios for over six decades. His music and arrangements greatly influenced Miles Davis and Bill Evans. Critic Stanley Crouch wrote, "Through the use of space and changes of rhythm and tempo, Jamal invented a group sound that had all the surprise and dynamic variation of an imaginatively ordered big band.” A.B. Spellman, of the National Endowment of the Arts, agreed: "Nobody except Thelonious Monk used space better, and nobody ever applied the artistic device of tension and release better."
The Branch Jazz Jam
Join us every third Wednesday at The Branch in Leesburg for an open jazz jam session. Local musicians and seasoned pros come together to trade tunes, improvise, and create fresh sounds in the moment. Whether you’re bringing your instrument or just coming to soak up the vibe, it’s a night of great music, community, and swing you won’t want to miss. And the food is great.
