Featuring Jazz Superstars Eric Marienthal, Brian Bromberg, and Mitch Forman
The Festival of Arts will sizzle Saturday, August 17 when the Eric Marienthal All-Stars featuring Brian Bromberg and Mitch Forman take the stage in the final Jazz on the Green concert of the summer. The Festival’s popular music series, showcases today’s most talented and recognizable Jazz performers and the Eric Marienthal All-Stars are no exception.
Grammy-nominated Eric Marienthal is one of the one of the most recorded sax players in contemporary jazz. As part of Chick Corea’s Elekric Band, Eric has traveled every corner of the globe playing jazz, and his solo albums are favorites of many of the most knowledgeable contemporary musicians.
Grammy-nominated Brian Bromberg is a bassist, composer and producer who has released some of the most critically acclaimed instrumental albums in contemporary jazz. From acoustic bass to electric bass, Piccolo bass to synthesizer bass, Brian brings the art of bass playing to a new level where the bass moves beyond simply being a rhythm instrument and brings it up front to be the lead voice.
Keyboardist Mitch Forman entered the jazz scene in the 1970s, working with jazz greats Jerry Mulligan and Stan Getz. Subsequent collaborations have included Mel Tormé, Gary Burton, Pat Metheny, Freddy Hubbard, Chuck Loeb, and many other top jazz performers.
“We are truly honored to have the opportunity to showcase Eric, Brian and Mitch at the Festival of Arts,” said Susan Davis, Director of Special Events for the Festival of Arts. “Having these three extraordinary musicians together is an excellent way to end this year’s Jazz on the Green series.
