Jazz, Pizazz and Vino

Description

Emil Fries Piano Hospital and Training Center, now known as The School of Piano Technology for the Blind has planned a benefit concert titled, Jazz, Pizazz and Vino!, featuring TOM GRANT BAND and Vocalist NANCY CURTIN at Bethany Vineyards, 4115 NE 259th Street, Ridgefield, WA on Sunday June 27, 2010 at 5:00 PM, rain or shine.

TOM GRANT, master instrumentalist, talented singer and natural entertainer nimbly walks the line between jazz tradition and modern pop. This soft-spoken Oregon native's inspired songwriting produces propulsive R&B grooves, infectious melodic hooks, and stylish ballads with equal ease. He plays jazz piano with the harmonic sophistication and deep sense of swing that only comes from more than three decades on the bandstand. At the same time, his recordings have consistently landed at the top of the Smooth Jazz charts, a genre of music Tom helped pioneer in the mid-80s.
