Larry Vuckovich has won acclaim from critics and jazz
audiences for his deeply imaginative style and repertoire heard at prestigious
North American and European jazz clubs, concert halls and festivals. He is
equally at home in world music/classically influenced modal jazz as he is with
hard-swinging bebop, post-bop, contemporary jazz, and down-home blues. The New
York Times notes that his unique outlook and collection of influences “set him
apart from most pianists who are heard regularly in New York”. The Village
Voice comments on his “book of piano gems that will keep you guessing.” The
Toronto Globe and Mail calls him “a musician who sits apart from the rest by
virtue…of his taste for both the exotic and the exquisite.”
Cited by piano legend Barry Harris as “one of the premier
West Coast pianists, Mr. Vuckovich brought his Jazz-Latin Trio/Quartet,
featured on his two current piano trio/quartet CDs, to Lincoln Center’s Dizzy’s
Club in New York on a recent East Coast tour. On the same tour, he performed
with Marian McPartland on her Piano Jazz show, broadcast to national and global
NPR affiliates. Mr. Vuckovich has appeared as soloist at the Fazioli piano
series in San Francisco, New York and Chicago, and also leads an 18-piece band
that sold out the 600-seat 2007 Jazz at Filoli show in Woodside, CA.
Eric Golub is a multi-faceted string improviser who has
been performing and recording on jazz viola and violin for more than 35 years,
including featured performances alongside such artists as Tom Harrell, Bobby
Hutcherson, Solar Plexus and Sadao Watanabe. Eric’s unique style draws upon his
unusually diverse expertise in world music traditions, including Indonesian,
Chinese and Japanese idioms, even as an accomplished Hawaiian singer. He
contributed his authentic Balkan gypsy fiddle improvisations to the seminal
globally-flavored jazz release “Blue Balkan” by Larry Vuckovich, with whom he
continues to work closely to this day.
