About this concert
TWO SHOWS 5:30pm / 8pm
The brilliant New York pianist Noah Haidu joins forces with jazz icons Buster Williams and Lenny White in support of his soulful and expessive new album Standards II. Haidu initially launched this project to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Keith Jarrett’s trio with Gary Peacock and Jack DeJohnette. The Wall Street Journal described Haidu’s tribute as “buoyant and free like a pent-up spirit released” while Downbeat Magazine called it “A stunning and heartfelt tribute.” The new album arrives on the heels of Standards I (2023, Sunnyside Records) which reached #4 in the national radio charts and topped numerous 'best of the year' lists.
