As part of the RSU Jazz Education Festival, Joey Calderazzo, a phenomenal jazz pianist, will give a concert with his trio comprising of Eric Revis (bassist) and Donald Edwards (drummer) on the RSU campus this early October.

From the time of his emergence with Michael Brecker in 1986 through his recent work in the Branford Marsalis Quartet, and on five previous albums under his own name, Calderazzo has proved to be among the most intense and engaged of contemporary soloists and accompanists. His energy, technique and rapid fire imagination have marked him as one of the most exciting jazz pianists to emerge in the past two decades. Calderazzo has documented this commanding mastery of group interplay on five previous albums that found him matching ideas and passions with such imposing artists as Brecker, Marsalis, Jerry Bergonzi, Jack DeJohnette, Dave Holland, John Patitucci and Jeff “Tain” Watts.

Tickets are available at Thai Ticket Major counters. For more information, please contact the Conservatory of Music, Rangsit University at 02.997.2200 ext 3212.
