Appearing at the Puffin Cultural Forum in Teaneck, NJ…
Roberta Piket & the Sides, Colors Ensemble
Come hear her eleven-piece ensemble play arrangements from Roberta’s recent release Sides, Colors
Critically acclaimed pianist/composer/arranger (and recent Teaneck transplant) Roberta Piket presents an evening of eclectic jazz and improvised music. Her unique ensemble comprises four winds (trumpet, clarinets, flutes and saxophones), string quartet as well as piano, bass and drums, creating a sound unlike any other large ensemble. The group will be playing music from Roberta’s recent release, Sides, Colors and brand new material as well.
Roberta finds inspiration in 20th century classical music as well as in familiar jazz standards. The core of this eleven-piece ensemble is Roberta’s piano trio, featuring Billy Mintz on drums, and Yoshi Waki on bass.
