Justin Dillard Trio

JUSTIN DILLARD TRIO.  Howard Reich (Chicago Tribune arts critic) writes: “A new generation of jazz improvisers has emerged in Chicago in recent years, but few are more promising than organist/pianist Justin Dillard. Musically, Dillard tends to be all over the keyboard, drawing upon the examples of virtuosos such as Dr. Lonnie Smith, Eddie Harris and McCoy Tyner. But there’s something more to Dillard’s work as well; a quest for new ideas in music, in the manner of his AACM mentors.”  The trio includes Justin Dillard, keyboard, piano; Kenny Phelps, percussion and Ivan Taylor, guitar.  Café CODA, 1224 Williamson St.  8pm.  Tickets $25.
