An opportunity to experience a jazz performance by acclaimed pianist/composer Adegoke Steve Colson with long time associates and musical masters Reggie Workman (bass) and Andrew Cyrille (percussion) - joined by the captivating voice of Iqua Colson on select works. Fans and new enthusiasts will experience the music of the Colsons, a unique sound loved by musicians and audiences because of the wide musical palette ranging from the lyrical to experimental/free jazz reflecting their early roots in Chicago's AACM. Members of the audience will receive a complimentary copy of The Untarnished Dream, the newly released recording of the Colsons' musical collaboration with legendary Workman and Cyrille. A reception and CD signing will take place in the unWINEd lounge after the performance.

"Colson has forged a cool and collected style for himself, with a warm touch, liquid phrasing, and the witty suggestion of Monkian harmonies..." Gary Giddins
