The second installment of Residency, In Pieces strips things down to the most intimate and demanding format in jazz: the piano trio. Jon Cowherd is joined by bassist Paul Bryan and drummer Marlon Patton for an evening of original compositions.

Jon Cowherd has spent decades at the center of some of the most significant music being made in jazz. As a founding member of Brian Blade and the Fellowship Band, he helped build one of the genre's most celebrated ensembles, recording and performing alongside artists including Joni Mitchell, Norah Jones, John Scofield, Cassandra Wilson, Brandi Carlile, and Lizz Wright. He also happens to live here in Nashville.

Paul Bryan has been a versatile, in-demand musician, producer, composer, and arranger since the early 1990s. His work as bassist and collaborator spans Aimee Mann, Norah Jones, Mavis Staples, Elvis Costello, Nick Lowe, Allen Toussaint, Lucinda Williams, Susan Tedeschi, Bettye LaVette, Billy Preston, Rufus Wainwright, and Jakob Dylan, among many others. He produced four albums for Aimee Mann including the 2017 Grammy winner Mental Illness, and his production work extends to guitarist Jeff Parker and saxophonist Josh Johnson. He brings a harmonic sophistication and lyrical sensibility to everything he plays. Paul BryanWikipedia

Marlon Patton returns on drums, anchoring the trio with the same musical intelligence he brought to opening night. He is a Nashville drummer with deep roots in jazz and gospel, known equally for his sensitivity and his power. He is a longtime collaborator of Jon Cowherd and brings an intuitive chemistry to everything he plays.

The Jazz Cave holds 74 people. There is no bad seat and nowhere to hide. That's the point.
