Jazz livens-up Thanksgiving weekend with the first-ever gathering of the The Sprague/Jaffe/Ennis Trio with award-winning baritone saphonist Claire Daly. The exciting new ensemble features long time collaborators with strong Berkshires roots: Miro Sprague (piano), Marty Jaffe (bass), and Jason Ennis (guitar). Though they always include a few surprising interpretations of familiar tunes, the trio mainly performs original compositions by each band member. Infused with influences from Brazil, classical chamber music, funk and more, the trio's music features intricate group improvisation, inventive arrangements, and a deep sense of beauty and groove.

Award-winning saxophonist Claire Daly, who is at home in the total spectrum of jazz and blues music, joins the group for their first time performing together.

The concert marks Berkshires Jazz’ first collaboration with Saint James Place, the stunning new performance venue with excellent acoustics and no obstructed views. It will be an acoustic evening, the Saturday of Thanksgiving weekend.
