CABARET TONIGHT IN DC: JACKY TERRASSON AT BOHEMIAN CAVERNS THIS WEEKEND

Jacky Terrasson, the most widely travelled of all jazz pianists, will be atBOHEMIAN CAVERNS(2001 Eleventh Street N.W., Washington, DC - 202-299-0800) Friday & Saturday, September 13th & 14th at 8:30 & 10:30 pm. Terrasson is an exhilarating musician, one of those who play their public straight to euphoria. Exactly one year after his triumph in the Thelonious Monk competition, the New York Times Magazine introduced Jacky as one of the 30 under 30, that is to say one of the 30 artists most likely to change American culture in the next 30 years. He then signed with the prestigious Blue Note label. This Franco-American national has never stopped dazzling us, either by his prestigious collaborations, with greats such as Dee Dee Bridgewater, Dianne Reeves, Jimmy Scott, Charles Aznavour, Ry Coodere or with his minimalist and energetic music hammered out with drummer Leon Parker and bassist Ugonna Okegwo, in a trio that was considered one of the best jazz trios of the 90s. And this intuition, this instinct, this openness, leads him to the discovery of the great burgeoning talents of his many groups (talents such as those of Eric Harland, Ben Williams, Jamire Williams, and Justin Faulkner). There is a $25 cover.
