JAZZ AT THE MERC: Lou Forestieri Trio at The Merc

Sherry Williams hosts "Jazz At The Merc"!

Each Thursday (and special performance dates throughout the year), you will be treated to a different jazz group in the intimate space known as "The Merc". The Mercantile is one of Temecula's original buildings and has been beautifully restored. We wanted to take advantage of this venue and bring you straight ahead jazz every Thursday evening in this acoustically inspired space.

As an orchestrator and arranger, Lou Forestieri has worked on many different musical planes, ranging from Tori Amos to Stanley Clarke as well as Mel Torme, Maureen McGovern, and Roberto Carlos. When not writing, he has found himself in other unique roles; a piano coach with Jeff Bridges for The Fabulous Baker Boys and Angelina Jolie for Beyond Borders. Lately Lou has been collaborating with time lapse photographer, Aaron Keigher, composing musical scores for his visually stunning time lapse photography videos. As an artist, Lou Forestieri never passes up a new challenge. He’s enjoyed playing live for the spontaneity and energy that comes along with performing in front of an audience. He’s liked the challenge of writing jingles and episodic TV, and now enjoys composing music for feature films, looking forward to where this journey will lead him next. ...

“The way I see it,” he says, “we never stop growing.”
