Fri 9/17 @ 8PM
Pianist Theron Brown is part of the rising generation of Cleveland jazz musicians, and he’s already made a name for himself in this area, and beyond. The Akron-based Zanesville native’s music encompasses both jazz and classic music, in which he’s earned degrees at the University of Akron. He teaches jazz piano at Kent State University and he’s co-founder/director of Akron’s Rubber City Jazz & Blues Festival. He even appeared in the Miles Davis bio film Miles Ahead as a young Herbie Hancock.
Brown leads his own trio, which includes two other up-and-coming young jazz artists, drummer Zaire Darden and bassist Jordan McBride, both recent Oberlin grads. They’ll be performing at the Akron Civic Theatre’s intimate new Knight Stage, playing songs from 2019 debut album No Concepts and more.
