Roman Goron Trio With Special Guest Jay Thomas at Seattle Jazz Fellowship

Young pianist Roman Goron is on the crest of the new wave of Gen Z jazz musicians to enter the Seattle jazz scene. A largely self-taught player, Goron's artistry truly exceeds his tender years. He has a pure sense of melody in his playing, and his contributions harmonically when comping are sensitive and supportive, again, well beyond his age. His trio includes bassist Trevor Ford and drummer Max Holmberg, constituting the same unit that played under Ford's name this past year at SJF. The inherent rhythmic makeup of the trio should be swingin.'

Seattle and international jazz legend Jay Thomas will guest, a wonderful and interesting cross- generational tie. Thomas, a rare bird in being equally virtuosic on reeds and trumpet, just turned seventy five and is hitting on all cylinders. He is a trumpet legend, of course, but his sound on tenor encapsulates that tradition like nobody else in town. This collision of talent highlights the utter lack of age discrimination in jazz, the antithesis of any kind of generation gap. The language spoken is all that matters. https://seattlejazzfellowship.org/events
