Saxaphonist Fred Haas Jams with The Tom Robinson Trio October 6 at Mead Base
The Tom Robinson Trio is joined by Dartmouth's Fred Haas (saxophone) for a one night jazz session on Saturday, October 6, 7 PM, at Mead Base.
Haas has performed with Oscar Peterson, Ray Charles, Pat Metheny, Clark Terry, Milt Jackson, Joe Morello, Don Cherry, Karrin Allyson, Matt Wilson, Gene Bertoncini, John Proulx and many others. Jazz guitarist Pat Metheny called Haas "a totally world-class saxophone player." At Dartmouth, Haas teaches saxophone, jazz piano, jazz improvisation, jazz history, and music theory. In 1996 he founded Interplay Jazz & Arts, an intensive holistic workshop in jazz that integrates yoga and meditation with the study of improvised music and other artistic disciplines (painting, drawing, creative writing, photography, film making). Haas has recorded many CDs, including several for his own JazzToons label. He is also an active performer and composer, traveling internationally to play and teach with a variety of jazz groups.
The Tom Robinson Trio comprises jazz pianist Tom Robinson, drummer/percussionist Tim Gilmore, and bassist Scott Kiefner. Robinson performs frequently throughout New England as a soloist, sideman, leads his own groups, and has been a featured artist at the Catamount Arts Center and Mountaintop Music Center. Gilmore is an active clinician with Adventures with Jazz, playing Canopus drums and Bosphorus cymbals, and has recorded with nationally-known artists on television and film projects. Kiefner studied with Fraser Hollins and Chris McCann. In the summer of 2013, he was selected to attend the School for Improvisational Music Intensive workshop in New York City and now plays throughout New England with a variety of artists.
