Join us for a New Orleans Jazz dinner with Jason Winikoff.
About the Artist:
The Jason Winikoff Trio
Dr. Jason Winikoff is a drummer, percussionist, bandleader, and ethnomusicologist who recently relocated to Connecticut. Though born in New Jersey, music has taken him from Vancouver to Zambia and many places in between. The perpetual student, Winikoff dedicates his artistic practice to the locations and musical cultures that have shaped him. Having cut his teeth in New Orleans, he is especially drawn to the vast musical landscape of the Crescent City. As such, the Jason Winikoff Trio performs music of the often-overlooked second wave of New Orleanian jazz composers. This repertoire includes songs by Harold Battiste, Ellis Marsalis, James Black, and their contemporaries. Expect beautiful ballads, bouncy bop tunes, and driving modern compositions that challenge notions of a static New Orleanian sound. All the while recognizing the deep lineage these songs derive from, the Jason Winikoff Trio also frequently sneaks traditional jazz into sets - showcasing the diverse shapes this art form can take. Joining Winikoff are some of the region's finest jazz musicians.
