Pianist Keith Brown has made a strong impact on our audiences with stellar performances a few years ago. His most recent album, “African Ripples”, as well as his previous release “The Journey”, have both received rave reviews from press as well as musicians. Paris Move states “At a time when Randy Weston, McCoy Tyner and Chick Corea have successively disappeared, this new ivory prodigy comes at the right time to take up the torch with enthusiasm, respect and determination.” Composer/arranger Maria Schneider says “he just shook me with his deep artistry. I am so excited about this very special musician.” That Keith is a son of Donald Brown—a former stalwart of Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers’'—is relevant only as a point of interest. Keith is a stellar musician and very much his own man. Keith cut his teeth in Knoxville’s jazz scene, and he’s now seen regularly in the esteemed venues of NYC.

This performance will take place in the theater, with a limited audience of 45 persons. We request that unvaccinated patrons wear masks. Tickets are $12.50 in advance, $15 at the door. Especially in view of reduced capacity, advance purchase is strongly recommended.
