Looking forward to a wonderful evening of jazz with the Sabine Trio. We'll be in the gorgeous backyard of Byron Barr in Altadena. 7:00pm. Light snacks provided. BYOB.
Sabine Pothier is a Russian-American pianist and composer. She was a child prodigy and raised with the finest classical piano training available. She was soon memorizing works of Rachmaninoff and others. She won the Liszt Los Angeles International Competition, the IBLA Grand prize in Italy, the MTNA regional in Minneapolis, and the Concerto competition at the Boston conservatory. She received her Bachelors in music at the Gnesnin school in Moscow and completed her graduate certificate at the Boston conservatory and USC Thornton School of Music. Sabine’s first jazz inspirations came from a record collection she inherited, in which she found albums by Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald. The sound captured her imagination and from that day forward she knew her path had changed. She spent time in the midwest and D.C. where she played with Blue Note bassist Butch Warren (Herbie Hancock, Dexter Gordon, Thelonious Monk, Wayne Shorter) and Fred Foss. After a move to Los Angeles she was quickly on the scene with “A” list players like, Henry “The Skipper” Franklin”, John B. Williams, Zane Mussa, Scotty Barnhart, Clayton Cameron, Jacques Lesure and divas Barbara Morrison, Sweet Baby Jai, and Michelle Coltrane. At this show Sabine will be joined by Eric Sittner on bass and Rashaan Austin on drums.
