Russell Ferrante Trio with Michael Valerio and Steve Schaeffer

Russell Ferrante (piano),  Michael Valerio (bass), Steve Schaeffer (drums)

"We will be playing music from our 2021 release Inflexion along with some of our favorite standards. Inflexion comes from the Latin root inflexionem meaning to bend in, to change direction. This music is indeed very personal and intimate and one could say it bends in. It is rooted in friendship, mutual respect, and the numerous points of connection we’ve shared over decades. I met Steve shortly after moving to Los Angeles in 1977 through our mutual friend, guitarist, Robben Ford. I met Michael years later when we began collaborating and recording with vocalist, Lorraine Feather. It’s a joy having the opportunity to play with these musicians and exhilarating to discover new places to take the music." -Russell Ferrante
