Live Jazz Night w/ Michael-Louis Smith & Left Ear Trio | June 15 | 8 pm

Presented by The Boyd Law Group, PLLC — Live Jazz Night @ Carriage Barn Arts Center with Michael-Louis Smith and his Left Ear Trio. Hop on the bus and check out some funky fresh original acid jazz, rock and afro-beat grooves driven by a powerfully soulful Hammond Organ with Andy Carballiera at the wheel. Plus, sample Barr Hill gin & vodka summer cocktails from Caledonia Spirits!

Out of the creative energies of Boston and New York City, the Left Ear Trio was formed in 2002 put their own twist on an age-old format: the Organ Trio. Although the group has firm roots in the tradition of the masters (Grant Green, Larry Young, Jimmy Smith, to name but a few…) they revel in many styles, and their sound is compared to the likes of jazz/funk outfits Soulive and Medeski, Martin and Wood.

Beyond the jam band hang, expect to hear afrobeat, high life, breakbeat rhythms, country, Americana and reggae influences, as the Left Ear trio pushes to develop the undiscovered sound that defines them. Drawing on these styles, the group writes original music based on improvisation and groove, attracting the attention of any audience, both dancers and listeners alike.
