Gaea Schell Trio

Friday, February 23, 6pm at Copperfield’s Books, San Rafael

Through the unique instrumentation of flute, bass, and vibes, the Gaea Schell Trio performs a unique mix of original compositions and standards of great composers like Benny Golson and Horace Silver. Gaea Schell, who is a a prominent Bay Area pianist, will treat us to her work as a jazz flutist. Accompanying her will be John Wiitala, one of the most in-demand bassists in the Bay Area, along with Dillon Vado on vibraphone, who is a young innovative composer and band leader as well as a fine drummer. Together the trio creates an atmosphere of swing, excitement, and pleasing timbre!
