Free EDENDALE UP CLOSE CONCERTS: ARK SANO Piano Jazz Trio

Join us Saturday August 15th at noon to 1:00 pm PT for our next Edendale Up Close performance:
Ark Sano Trio, featuring Ark Sano on keyboard, Larry Steen on bass, and Sammy K. on drums.

From an early age, Ark Sano has been immersed in music theory and keyboard performance. After graduating from Berklee College of Music he joined Black/Note for several acclaimed jazz albums on Columbia and Impulse!, and has continuously maintained his reputation as one of the top pianists on the jazz scene. Ark's latest release, his second album with the trio, In Storm, In Breeze, is receiving rave reviews worldwide. He has performed at major jazz festivals in America and Europe, works with large ensembles and big bands, while also writing and performing classical works and giving concerts. He composes and arranges for various chamber ensembles including the Japan America Chamber Orchestra, for which he serves as music director and conductor, and is the assistant conductor of several orchestras. As URB Magazine wrote, "The energy and speed in Ark's playing is mind-blowing... he rips through solos with calculating precision and unprecedented command of jazz harmony."
