Music at the Frist: Jerry Krahn Trio

• Jerry Krahn

• John Jarvis at the Frist

• Bobby Durham performs with Jerry Krahn and Jeff Taylor

You may have heard Jerry as a member of the Regular Sunday Afternoon Jazz Band at Loews Vanderbilt Hotel, or as a member of Carolyn Martin’s excellent swing band. Tonight, Jerry is joined by two of Nashville’s most in-demand players: John Jarvis on keyboard and bassist Bobby Durham.

Jerry’s repertoire features the styles of early jazz guitar masters including Eddie Lang and Django Reinhart. His arrangements of 20’s and 30’s jazz and pop standards are delivered with a flair. Jerry carries these guitars into the 21st century with soulful versions of contemporary jazz, personal compositions and jazz-laced countrypolitan hits combining styles of Joe Pass, Chet Atkins, George Benson, and Pat Metheny.

In addition, John Jarvis will be performing original tunes from his acclaimed CD, View from a Southern Porch.
