May 2 - Dave Wild Trio
Author/pianist Dave Wild has played jazz for decades, with those mostly anonymous local heroes who
keep the flame burning out beyond the big city limits. There have been Dave Wild Trios in various locales
over the years, backing Jimmy Borges and Ethel Azama at J.B.'s in Honolulu, doing Sundays at Ann Arbor's Bird
of Paradise, squeezed beside the kitchen at the Café San Juan Bistro in Viejo San Juan, Puerto Rico. The
current expanded edition, one of the best, circulates through Central Texas with Wild, on piano
(and occasionally soprano saxophone) joined by bassist/guitarist Jeff Horton or bassist Tramm Kelly,
drummer Charles Burleson, and saxophonist Greg Bashara. In performance the quartet mines the idiom's
riches, from the classics of John Coltrane, Miles Davis and Bill Evans through today's acoustic
masterpieces, with a distinctive approach shaped by Wild's arrangements and many original
compositions.
