Synopsis
The critically acclaimed jazz trio, UNION, featuring pianist Laurence Hopgood, drummer Paul Wertico and guitarist/bassist Brian Torff will perform original compositions and jazz standards from their newest CD State of the Union (Naim/1999) in the Downstairs Theatre as part of Steppenwolf’s performance series Traffic. The threesome has garnered kudos and respect for blending their strikingly individual styles into one balanced musical union. Whether playing jazz standards or blues, flying into the more avant-garde or improvising, UNION uniformly molds their different technique, tone, and phasing to produce a harmonic and unified sound.Content Advisory
