Kate Kortum and the Aaron Diehl Trio
About This Event
At 92NY, vocalist Kate Kortum joins the Aaron Diehl Trio for a program that places her voice alongside Diehl’s historically minded jazz piano writing. Diehl, whose piano often takes on orchestral textures in the lineage of Jamal, Garner, Tatum and Morton, and Kortum, who favors careful phrasing and textual clarity within an ensemble, will move between song and instrumental textures.
