    What can safely be called the only jazz group of its kind, the Fred Moyer Jazz Trio performs both its own improvisations and its note-for-note transcriptions of jazz trio performances of historic piano giants. Fred (along with the many bassists and drummers he collaborates with) create a score by transcribing every note of a favorite jazz performance, and then approach the score just as they would a chamber music work of Beethoven and Mozart, not changing the notes and staying true to the style, but interpreting the music in his own way. The perfect performance to wrap up our Southgate Holiday weekend spectacular!
