LPL Concert Series: The Little Jazz Trio

The Little Jazz Trio’s musical goal is to “keep the melody clear and the harmony simple,” says guitarist Harvey Nusbaum, “We want to be accessible.” Along with Nusbaum, the threesome features bassist Bob Lyna and trumpeter Ray Sturge and together they have crafted set lists of adventurous variety. “We’re looking at all eras and sub-genres,” Nusbaum said. “Everything is fair game. The variety keeps the audience engaged.” Some newer material includes the theme song from TV’s “Frasier,” a Beatles song, “Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da,” Jimmy Van Heusen’s “Swingin’ On a Star,” Mary Hopkins’ “Those Were the Days” and Glenn Miller’s “In The Mood." This project is made possible with funds from the Statewide Community Regrants Program, a regrant program of the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature and administered by CNY Arts.
