The Shedd is delighted to welcome renowned jazz pianist Larry Fuller and his trio back to Jaqua Concert Hall. Rooted in the hard-swinging traditions of mainstream jazz, Fuller was the last pianist with legendary bassist Ray Brown’s Trio, a member of the Jeff Hamilton Trio, and most recently a member of the John Pizzarelli Quartet. His playing has been described by critics as “summarizing the history of jazz.”
