Mark Shilansky's Fugue Mill with Talyor Haskins in Concert

Piano by Nature is thrilled to present Mark Shilansky’s Fugue Mill in two concerts — Saturday, April 9th at 7:00 pm and Sunday, April 10th at 3:00 pm — weaving jazz through the fabric of Americana, world, and classical music, and creating a complex yet attractive blend of musical and improvisational styles. Original group pieces are featured side by side with music by such composers as Leonard Cohen and Samuel Barber. Members of the group combine their wide-ranging experience playing with such artists as Luciana Souza, Esperanza Spalding, and Darol Anger into a musical melange that explores diverse idioms, linked through improvisation and groove.

Members:

Kathleen Flynn (voice),
Eric Byers (guitar),
Sara Caswell (violin – also seen in Nine Horses in the Soundwaves Concert Series),
Mark Shilansky (pianist – also in the Taylor Haskins Quartet), and
Special appearance by Westport’s Taylor Haskins (trumpet).

Grammy Award winner, Taylor Haskins — Taylor Haskins
