Jazz At The Maverick Presents Pianist Uri Caine 8/20

Jazz at the Maverick continues at Woodstock's historic concert hall in the woods with an evening of exciting jazz with pianist Uri Caine on Saturday, August 20, at 8:00 p.m.

Uri Caine, one of today's leading jazz performers, is an esteemed and prolific composer, performer, and arranger. In addition to his treatments of Mahler, he is well known for his settings of Bach, Beethoven, Wagner, and Schumann. Uri was composer-in-residence of the Los Angeles Philharmonic Chamber Orchestra between 2005 and 2009, and has worked with masters in diverse genres-Don Byron, Dave Douglas, John Zorn, Terry Gibbs, Buddy DeFranco, Clark Terry, Annie Ross, and many others. He has been commissioned to write for ensembles like the Seattle Chamber Orchestra and the Beaux Arts Trio.

As the definition of chamber music broadens, the Maverick roster has included folk and world music as well as jazz. This year, Maverick's 96th, the festival has strengthened its commitment to the jazz idiom with three concerts over three consecutive Saturdays in August, of which this is the last. With an 8:00 p.m. curtain, concertgoers can plan for a festive night out and really great jazz in the woods!
