Marc Cary Trio at Healdsburg Jazz Festival at Paul Mahder Gallery

About

Every successful organization needs a secret weapon, and that includes jazz festivals. At Healdsburg who would this be? Looking at the 20-year roster of performers, an obvious pick would the pianist Marc Cary.

Apt communicators, Marc's sidemen will make this challenge seem a snap. Drummer Victor Lewis is a wily veteran who everyone wants on their gigs. Bassist David Ewell, a graduate of Berkeley High Schools star-making jazz program, has been a member of Marc's Focus Trio for around 10 years, which tells you all you need to know about this sidemans proficiency and sensitivity. With so much music to communicate and so many ways to express it, these three will be having a conversation for the ages.
