Bassist Phil Sparks is a Seattle jazz institution. His soulful, swingin’ approach to the double bass has fit into a plethora of musical encounters over the years, both as a side musician and as a leader. He has been a foundational voice in the Seattle Repertory Jazz Orchestra from its inception, and has hosted the hippest jazz happy hour in Seattle at Latona for what seems like forever. In this case, Sparks pares things down to a traditional jazz piano trio, an equal partnership between three voices. Pianist Victor Noriega is an old friend who is seldom seen these days, so a welcome opportunity to reconnect with his playing. Drummer / percussionist Greg Campbell is an eclectic player with a wide range of influences. There’s a lot to work with here, all in the intimate atmosphere at 109 S. Main St.https://seattlejazzfellowship.org/events
