We’re incredibly honored to host a performance from Trio Imagination here on the Elastic Stage. The group features two legends of creative jazz: drummer/percussionist Andrew Cyrille and bassist Reggie Workman joined by rising-star Cuban pianist David Virelles. We're making tickets available early for this show, as it will likely be a sellout!
Andrew Cyrille - drums, percussion
Reggie Workman - contrabass
David Virelles - piano
Andrew Cyrille has worked in the groups of Cecil Taylor, Coleman Hawkins, Oliver Lake, Leroy Jenkins, Mal Waldron, and others, and co-lead groups with Peter Kowald, Milford Graves (Dialogue of the Drums), Jimmy Lyons, Peter Brötzmann and Anthony Braxton, to name a few. He also has worked with Detroit musicians like Geri Allen and Spencer Barefield.
Reggie Workman is one of the most prolific bassists ever, working in such marquee groups as The John Coltrane Quartet, Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers and the groups of Thelonious Monk, Yusef Lateef, and Donald Byrd. He was also actively engaged with the next generation of New Thing artists like Eric Dolphy, Booker Little, Andrew Hill, Sam Rivers, and Pharoah Sanders. In addition to Lateef and Byrd, he has collaborated with Detroiters Alice Coltrane, Roy Haynes, Curtis Fuller, and Tommy Flanagan.
David Virelles, still in his thirties, has already recorded and played with some of the most creative musicians in jazz, including Henry Threadgill, Chris Potter, Steve Coleman, and Ravi Coltrane, and has won the Downbeat Rising Star Poll on piano.
Trio Imagination is supported through a Chamber Music America Presenter Consortium for Jazz grant in collaboration with Trinosophes Projects (Detroit) and Hallwalls (Buffalo, NY)
