The Eric Byrd Jazz Trio: The Saints Are Still Marching

The Eric Byrd Trio will be celebrating their latest recording, SAINTS ARE STILL MARCHING, with a special concert hosted by the Living Arts Concert Series on November 18th in Burtonsville, Maryland.

As former US State Department/Kennedy Center Jazz Ambassadors, this jazz trio has had the same lineup for almost 20 years. Pianist and vocalist Eric Byrd, bassist Bhagwan Khalsa, and drummer Alphonso Young are international touring artists, engaging audiences with their unique blend of gospel, blues and jazz music. Their latest recording takes Spirituals, Hymns and Gospels to the next level by creating fresh arrangements on familiar songs.
Selections like Just A Closer Walk With Thee, There’s Just Something About That Name, and Joshua Fit The Battle of Jericho and more all sound like brand new pieces with fresh arrangements. It’s a lot like inviting an old friend over for dinner – but loving their new hairstyle!

Also likely at this concert is repertoire from a special recording. SWEET SWEET SPIRIT is a 2017 recording that was exclusively released in Japan, but is now available to American audiences. Double the songs, twice the recordings, three musicians and one great concert.

No tickets required. A suggested donation of $15 (adults) would be greatly appreciated.
Venue is wheelchair accessible.
