D.D. Jackson performs jazz piano from 7 – 8 pm, Saturday, June 24 at Holy Trinity, 20 Cumming Street.
After receiving his B.A. in Music with High Distinction in Classical Piano from Indiana University, and his Masters in Jazz from the Manhattan School of Music, the multi-Emmy-winning composer D.D. Jackson began his career as a jazz pianist/composer. He went on to record, perform, and tour with some of the most acclaimed names in jazz, including drummer Jack Dejohnette and saxophonists James Carter and David Murray. He has collaborated frequently with Questlove and The Roots, most recently at the theater of Madison Square Garden for the John Lennon 75th Birthday Concert and at Radio City Music Hall.
Suggested donation of $25 or pay what you can.
Stay to enjoy light refreshments and meet D.D. Jackson.
Here’s what the jazz community says about D.D. Jackson:
“There’s the kinetic jazz pianist D.D. Jackson, for instance, about whom the drummer complained, ‘I never get to enjoy playing with him because I’m too busy trying to top him. Damn you, D.D., I’m hurting.’”
-Questlove, in the Wall Street Journal (“Questlove Shuffles to Brooklyn”, 4/18/12)
“An extraordinary pianist whose technical bravura is matched by a capacious hunger for adventure.”
-Gary Giddins, the Village Voice

ABOUT CHEF’S CHOICE
A fake dating arrangement turns to real love in this deliciously delightful queer rom-com from the author of the sweetly satisfying Chef’s Kiss.
When Luna O’Shea is unceremoniously fired from her frustrating office job, she tries to count her blessings: she’s a proud trans woman who has plenty of friends, a wonderful roommate, and a good life in New York City. But blessings don’t pay the bills.
Enter Jean-Pierre, a laissez-faire trans man and the heir to a huge culinary empire—which he’ll only inherit if he can jump through all the hoops his celebrity chef grandfather has placed in his path. First hoop: he needs a girlfriend, a role that Luna is happy to play…for the right price. She’s got rent to pay, after all! Second hoop: they both need to learn how to cook a series of elaborate, world-renowned family recipes to prove that Jean-Pierre is a worthy heir. Admittedly, Luna doesn’t even know how to crack an egg, but she’s not going to let that—or any pesky feelings for Jean-Pierre—stop her.
Another swoon-worthy and heartwarming queer love story from a charming new voice in romance.
