Scott Hopkins Trio with Special Guest Keith Pray at the Barnsider
Scott Hopkins Trio with special guest Keith Pray
Featuring Lou Smaldone (bass), Brian Melick (percussion), & Keith Pray (keyboard & sax)
The Scott Hopkins Trio brings together seasoned musicians – Lou Smaldone on upright bass, Brian Melick on percussion, and special guest Keith Pray on keyboards (and sax) to explore the rich and varied landscape of jazz and its many intersections. Rooted in jazz traditions but unafraid to venture into Blues, Americana, and improvisational roots music, the trio blends original compositions with creative interpretations of standards and genre-crossing material.
About Keith Pray:
Keith Pray is a versatile saxophonist and organist, who explores the boundaries of mainstream jazz, the blues, avant-garde and gritty funk as a performer, bandleader, composer and educator.
Keith has traveled from the west coast to Europe making music of many styles with countless gifted musicians. Keith has released ten albums under his name, most recently “Floating in Space and Time” on his label PrayNation Records. Keith is an in demand jazz educator, having conducted many all-counties, masterclasses, clinics, co-founding All Ears Jazz, which develops jazz education workshops.
Keith also holds a Certificate of Advanced Graduate Study (CAGS) from the European Graduate School in Expressive Arts: Therapy, Conflict Transformation and Education.
“Make no mistake about it Keith Pray is a voice with which to be reckoned with. He has it all and leaves it all here, a brilliant convergence of chops, insight, honesty of sound and superb writing skills. This confluence packs a solid, creative punch, a knock out. ” – Nick Mondello, JazzTimes
