Joel Frahm is known in the jazz world as an icon of the tenor saxophone. An unsurpassed emotional projection always characterizes his playing which draws on the breadth the American musical tradition. Star pianist Brad Mehldau, his childhood friend, praises his ability of ‘getting to the heart of the song, immediately, from the first note.’ Joel’s trio follows in the footsteps of the legendary sax trios of Sonny Rollins, Joe Henderson and Steve Grossman: an open-hearted, virtuosic style, given a fresh twist by Joel Frahm and co.
Currently living in music city Nashville, Joel Frahm has honed his craft in the jazz clubs of New York for more than thirty years. He has collaborated with, among others, Betty Carter, Kenny Barron en Freddy Cole. He made the duo album Don’t Explain with Brad Mehldau. On our stage he has previously appeared in the bands of Omer Avital. His current trio with bassist Dan Loomis and drummer Ernesto Cervini was founded in Toronto. This fall will see the release of their new album, the follow-up to the widely acclaimed The Bright Side.
The last time this trio performed at Scott’s Jazz Club we had a sell out crowd, so book early for this one!
