ATLANTA -- Oglethorpe University's Music Department presents the Lynne Arriale Jazz Trio in concert on Friday, Feb. 18, at 8 p.m. in the Conant Performing Arts Center. The Lynne Arriale Jazz Trio, featuring Lynne Arriale on piano, Jay Anderson on bass, and Steve Davis on drums, has toured the globe and reached the top of every jazz chart of note. Their recording of "Come Together" celebrates 10 years of musical excellence that Jazz Times Magazine called "stunning and impeccable." Audiences can expect to hear favorite pop classics such as the Beatles' "Come Together" and "Iko Iko" surprisingly reinvented, along with Arriale's highly compelling originals, best known for their heartfelt, folkloric quality. Grammy Award-winning jazz critic Bob Blumenthal describes the trio as "one of the most empathetic threesomes in jazz."

The Arriale Trio is currently being featured in a Public Broadcasting System television special, "Profile of a Performing Artist." The trio’s 2005 performance schedule includes three European tours, performances throughout Canada and the United States, including the Kennedy Center, the Monterey Jazz Festival and a concert with jazz legend Marion McPartland.

Tickets for the event are $10 general admission (Oglethorpe faculty, staff and students are free.) and will only be available at the door beginning at 7 p.m. on Feb. 18.
