We are kicking off the Summer Concert Series and we couldn’t be more excited to have dulcet tones emitting once again from our acoustically terrific Library Courtyard! First up, 2Slick!
Trombones are front and center in this unique jazz group. The classic jazz quintet features a front line of a saxophone and a trumpet, or maybe two saxes. But 2Slick heralds the prominence of an instrument not commonly seen as a duo; the trombone.
2Slick is fronted by trombonists Steve Piermarini and Wayne Branco, and includes pianist John Arcaro, bassist Stephan Arsenault and drummer Mark Branco. The band features the music of JJ Johnson and Kai Winding as well as many original arrangements.
Wayne and Steve know a bit about playing the trombone. With a combined 100 years of study, practicing and performing between them, they’ve played in groups backing up artists from Bob Hope to the New Kids on the Block, at venues from the Blue Note in Osaka, Japan, to Carnegie Hall. Now they’ll be stepping into the spotlight as co-leaders of 2Slick. Join us for this a night of jazz at the Kimball Courtyard.
We are thankful and delighted that this Kimball Library 2022 Summer Concert Series is sponsored by the most generous and gracious George Family Charities.
