The Lou Malandra Trio blends the exquisite jazz pianist, Doug Roche, the incomparable bass playing of Ron Bland, and the rich voice of a poet, Lou Malandra.
Together, the trio creates the most harmonious compositions of poetry and jazz. "PoeJazz" is the affectionate name the fellas give their work. Malandra sums it all up when introducing these gifted artists, "These gentlemen are jazz, and they call me Poe!."
Whether from a lighthearted tune, "Our Honeysuckle Rose" by Fats Waller featuring poetry by Maya Angelou, or a Robert Frost/Bill Evans ballad, or the wealth of original compositions by these warmhearted artists, this gifted trio engages the audience with grace and a deep commitment to ensemble and enjoyment.
