10-fingered jazz: the stylings of ten piano masters
Saturday, Feb. 20
7:30pm
Livestreamed by Berkshires Jazz and PCTV
Berkshires Jazz is taking part in the 10th annual 10×10 Upstreet Winter Arts Festival, which generally takes place in downtown Pittsfield (in the citiy’s Upstreet Cultural District). With pandemic-imposed limitations on what can be done in person –at least indoors—we are presenting our first-ever virtual event. A livestreamed concert featuring a masterful Berkshires favorite.
The program will feature pianist Matt DeChamplain playing the jazz stylings of 10 different pianists (with one or two encores anticipated with his wife, the amazing vocalist Atla DeChamplain). His selections range from rag to bop to modern, Matt is a student, a teacher, and a performer of all things jazz, and it will be great to have him back in the Berkshires…albeit virtually.
It’s a free program, and will be viewable online (details to come) and for local audiences on PCTV.
