Thursday Night Jazz: Stephan Crump Sextet (Sponsored by Cucina Alfabeto)

Grammy-nominated bassist Stephan Crump—with a sextet, blending jazz and chamber instruments—presents Slow Water in concert.  The 67-minute piece was inspired by Water Always Wins, a book by science journalist Erica Gies about humankind’s relationship to water. Crump grew up in Memphis, near the Mississippi… and in Slow Water you can hear the bubbles of peat beneath the water, the birds above, the rustle of breezes and pounding of storms, and the river’s ever-shifting rhythms.

The Sextet:

Bass: Stephan Crump 

Trombone: Jacob Garchik

Trumpet: Kenny Warren

Vibraphone: Yuhan Su

Viola: Fung Chern Hwei

Violin: Erica Dicker
