Brent Follis Trio: Some of my best friends are…pianists
The following description was submitted by the event organizer.
For four weeks this past October, Vino Veritas transformed from a wine bar and bottle shop into a cozy jazz club. Each week during the inaugural Thursday Night Music Series, the place was packed. “We knew it would be a hit, but we didn’t expect people to catch on that fast,” said part-owner Trevor Gorham. This time around the series has been extended to six weeks and includes first-call pianist and arranger Clay Giberson and locally renowned vocalist and songwriter Kathleen Hollingsworth. The series entitled “Some of my best friends are…pianists” is hosted by the Brent Follis Trio. Each week highlights the drummer’s close musical friendships with local piano legends, including the Grammy-nominated Randy Porter, a 40-year veteran of Diana Ross’ band, George Mitchell, local smooth jazz icon and prolific recording artist Tom Grant, and NYC transplant and leading pianist/composer on the Portland jazz scene, Kerry Politzer.
