SAMPLE PROGRAMS
|
|
The following programs are samples to give presenters an idea about Joe's solo jazz
piano concerts. His concerts include blues, ballads, Broadway, traditional jazz,
and original material. Presenters of church concerts should notice that if they
book Joe for a Sunday concert, he will participate in the morning worship service,
performing an improv on a hymn tune, play a duet with the organist if timing permits
rehearsal, or perhaps play with the morning hymns.
