Gerds: Werner Trio, playing Jazz Fest, produces amazing performance

Wearegreenbay.com Critic-At-Large Warren Gerds had high praise for Saturday’s (Feb. 1) Kenny Werner Trio performance, the culminating event of UW-Green Bay’s Jazz Fest XLIV. “If (you) think I’ve overstated Kenny Werner’s performance, you weren’t there,” Gerds writes. “He’s an amazing musician, just by himself. Playing in a trio reveals him to an even fuller extent — that he and two others can create elaborate jazz tapestries like you and I turn on a light switch.” For Gerds’ full review, and to hear a sampling of the trio’s music in our UW-Green Bay News Jazz Fest preview video, click the links below:
