International Jazz Series MEM3 A MEMorable evening lies in store for jazz fans on this night! MEM3 brings a worldly outlook to Edmonton, along with recent kudos as one of the best piano trios on the jazz scene today. Based in New York City, the members of this trio are Michael Cabe on piano from Seattle, Washington, Mark Lau on bass from Sydney, Australia and Ernesto Cervini on drums from Toronto, Canada. Ernesto last played the Yardbird Suite in a quartet setting in November 2009, as part of the third annual Yardbird Jazz Festival. According to the band’s website, MEM3 represents “the culmination of four years of close musical and personal friendship between these three musicians.” This night will feature works from their debut album Pennsylvania Grey, which includes original compositions from all three musicians. The group’s sound is partly influenced by the trio sounds of the great Oscar Peterson, Peter Erskine and the Esbjörn Svensson Trio (E.S.T.). All three players have successful careers in their own right, performing at jazz festivals such as the Umbria Jazz Festival in Italy, the Pori Jazz Festival in Finland and others in Canada, the United States, Australia and Hong Kong. They have also performed in many of the great jazz venues in the world as well as many of the best in New York City, including Birdland, Dizzy’s Club, Jazz at Lincoln Center, The 55 Bar and The Jazz Standard. Pennsylvania Grey contains nine intriguing original compositions, along with a swinging rendition of the traditional “Abide With Me”... Dynamic chemistry...An expansive palette of sounds, from modal to melancholy...Cervini’s nimble cymbal and brushwork...these musicians are clearly inspired and willing to investigate all aspects of the piano jazz spectrum. - Graham Flanagan, All About Jazz when...
