| Randy Sabien has lit up jazz clubs and concert halls with his patented "fiddlehead jazz" for more than two decades. Now, the critically acclaimed jazz artist, and educator, joins bass virtuoso Brian Q. Torff in a new program entitled A Tribute to Stephane Grappelli. Sold-out audiences are captivated by glowing renditions of Grappelli standards, including many from the "Hot Club" era, along with shining examples of the artists’ own work and their memories of Stephane. Bassist Torff, who performed with Grappelli throughout the 70’s and 80’s, brings a tremendous history to the project, and both he and Randy lead educational workshops along with a concert engagement. The simple format of two guitars, violin and bass are fully realized in this two-hour program of acoustic jazz... Hot Club style!
Supporting the national album release, Segue, the quartet is now available to festival, concert hall and performing arts presenters exclusively from SRO Artists. For arts presenters in the Midwest, this program is eligible for Heartland Arts funding.
