Award-Winning NY Jazz Pianist Travis Shook To Perform in Olympia Sat Dec. 12
The United Churches of Olympia (map)
Travis Shook, an Olympia High School graduate now based in New York, will perform with his trio at 7:30 PM Saturday evening, December 12, at The United Churches of Olympia, 110 11th Ave. SW.
The $15 cover is payable at the door.
Joining Shook for his first Olympia concert in seven years will be Seattle musicians drummer Matt Jorgensen and a bassist Phil Sparks.
After several years on the Seattle jazz scene, Shook won a national competition and, at 23, was signed to a Columbia Records contract, recording his first, self-titled album with noted drummer Tony Williams. Later, he accompanied Betty Carter on a world tour, and played with greats such as Branford Marsalis, Eddie Harris and Ernestine Anderson.
Shook and his wife, singer Veronica Nunn, own a record label together and reside in upstate New York.
Tickets are $15, available at the door.

Peter HeideGreat music, nicely performed without amplification.
Shook is personable and unpretentious. The audience was responsive, but I was hoping for a little more of a club atmosphere. Overall a good experience.
-
Charlie SaibelVery enjoyable - excellent musicians for sure. Good rapport with the audience and nice mix of jazz styles. Lot of energy. It wasn't a long concert, but sometimes that's a good thing, expecially then they really get down to business..

Pete HolmHe is, indeed, a monster. I wished he played another set, but left satisfied. Rhythm section also *****.
