Fri May 3, 8:30 – 11 pm

Hosted by Firehouse 12
Details Sam Bardfeld — violin; Jacob Sacks — piano; Michael Sarin — drums

One of the top jazz violinists in the world, Sam Bardfeld leads a trio performing music that is by equal turns lyrical, quirky, daring, and humorous. His partners in crime, pianist Jacob Sacks and drummer Michael Sarin are virtuosos of the highest order and the three are in constant mischievous dialogue.

Violinist Sam Bardfeld is a member of The Jazz Passengers, The Hemphell Stringtet, and has collaborated frequently with Bruce Springsteen. He has worked as a sideman for a long list of jazz, pop, folk and experimental acts including Elvis Costello, John Zorn, Calexico, Anthony Braxton, Henry Butler, Kris Davis, Savion Glover, Debbie Harry, John Cale, Steven Bernstein, Ingrid Laubrock, Roy Nathanson, Tomeka Reid, Willie Colon, Dar Williams, Johnny Pacheco, et al. In 2023, he was voted #8 in the Downbeat Critics Poll in the violin category. His book Latin Violin, is considered the authoritative work on the Afro-Cuban violin tradition.
