Onaje Allan Gumbs and New Vintage (Featuring) Trio Plus at BAM Cafe

About

“Whether on acoustic piano or synthesizers, Gumbs’ devotion to lyricism and attention to the details of composition, arrangement and performance mark his work with a feeling of quiet passion.”
—Bill Quinn, Black Radio Exclusive

Acclaimed pianist, composer, and arranger Onaje Allan Gumbs, bassist Gregory M Jones, and drummer EJ Strickland form the core of this melodic jazz trio, while the “plus” is a rotating cast of special guest musicians and vocalists. Gumbs—a veteran sideman best known as a member of the legendary trumpeter Woody Shaw’s band and for playing alongside greats like Nat Adderley, Betty Carter, and Cassandra Wilson—is renowned for the beautifully reflective, lyrical touch he brings to the piano.
