The JAZZ JOEL TRIO performs in a variety of styles. They try to put our musical sincerity along with the love of the Jazz Trio format first and foremost. Their audience is an important ingredient that challenges our connection to them. Joel and his musicians appear regularly at Concert venues, Jazz Clubs, Libraries, Museums, and more, with audience engaging programs dedicated to New Jersey’s musical treasure: 7 time Grammy Award Winner Bill Evans. They play to “full houses” because of his personalized experiences with Bill and with the audience.
