The Larry Pierce Trio will be featured at the next concert in the Performing Arts Studio's Jazz in the Gallery series. The concert, which begins 7:30 p.m. Sunday in the Norman Depot, 200 S. Jones Ave., is free and open to the public. A light dessert will be served.
The Larry Pierce Trio has played the past several years at Junior's in Oklahoma City with singer Denise Smith. Pianist and group leader Larry Pierce, in addition to his night club work, has for the past ten years led the pit band at the University of Oklahoma shows "Sooner Scandals" and "University Sing."
Trio drummer Eddie Ferguson also plays with Garrett Jacobson (Big G), a prominent blues artist in the Oklahoma City area. Bass player Tom Clark played with Al Good's big band for several years, and now plays frequently with the Floyd Hanes Orchestra.
Together, the Trio's music is primarily light jazz and standards, providing the perfect evening for a Mother's Day celebration, or just a pleasant way to end the day. The price is right. The music outstanding. And, the Emily Dutcher photography exhibit in the gallery will transport you to scenes from around the world. Come and join us!
