60th Anniversary Concert Season
The Mboya Nicholson Trio at Convocation Hall
Saturday, March 14 | 7:30 p.m.
Convocation Hall
Arts Building and Convocation Hall, University of Alberta, North Campus
The Mboya Nicholson Trio comes with an agenda: to swing. Aside from the iconic music of Mary Lou Williams, Thelonious Monk and others, the band will also play compositions primarily from the Mboya Nicholson songbook. These include some pieces from his 2022 solo piano release, Melodic Faces. Jazz is a blues-based language, spoken with a swinging accent. Come and hear the stories told in rhythm and melody.
