The Crotty, Corman and Phipps jazz trio takes a break from their steady Sunday afternoon gig at the Oakland Museum to offer two sets of mellow, swinging jazz at this pleasant venue. Bassists Ron Crotty, valve trombonist Frank Phipps and guitarist Tony Corman invite you to join them for the “Sounds of Sunday” series.

CD review from “O’s Place”: Guitarist Tony Corman leads a trio with Ron Crotty on bass and Frank Phipps on bass trumpet. There are no drums or piano and they aren’t missed. This is an elegant combo that would serve well in the background or foreground for a sophisticated gathering. They play nine popular standards and two originals, Corman’s “Rosa Rugosa” and “Ron’s Muse” by Phipps. Highlights are “How Deep Is The Ocean” and “But Beautiful.” Frank’s melodies are warm and brassy, sweeter than a trombone but with more guys than a standard trumpet. This is great listening music!
