Accompanied by longtime collaborators Allan Mednard on drums and Ben Allison on bass, the trio will showcase music from Wolff’s most recent record “MEMOIR” (Sunnyside Records), also recorded by the same group. The evening’s material reflects on the life and near-death experiences chronicled by Wolff in his best selling memoir, “On That Note” as well as featuring other soulful originals and twists on familiar favorites.
