Shikantaza Jazz at Junebug Artfest

The Shikantaza Trio (Doug Miller--piano, Bernhard Geiger--bass, Brandon Lewin--percussion) with vocalists Tanya Saunders and Lori Pantaleo will perform on the Mainstage as part of the 7th Annual Metuchen Junebug ArtFest. In the event of rain, the performance will be at "What's the Scoop," at 410 Main Street in Metuchen.

Shikantaza passionately explores the jazz canon and songs from "The Great American Songbook," as well as performing original compositions developed improvisationally. Their eclectic repertoire draws inspiration not just from jazz and popular music, but also from folk, classical, gospel, rock, and even country western genres.
