Trevor Ford Trio at Seattle Jazz Fellowship

Bassist Trevor Ford is a relative newcomer to the Seattle jazz scene, having arrived just as the pandemic shut music down for two years. He first appeared in the Marina Albero Trio and ended up in the highly visible Thomas Marriott Quartet. For these two nights, we get to see him more completely, performing music he specifically wrote for live performances such as this. To make it even more interesting, he does so in partnership with nineteen year old pianist Roman Goron, whose Seattle Jazz Fellowship performances have put him on the map here in Seattle. Drummer Max Holmberg is a classic jazz drummer, swinging in an intricate and easy way. There’s not a lot of history here to draw on, just a look forward into what has been stirring in Ford’s soul since his arrival from his home digs in Bend, Oregon. His compositions invite the art of improvisation to step forward, making this a two day run of personal exploration for the trio. https://seattlejazzfellowship.org/events
