Reverso Trio: Chamber Music Forum Master Class

Reverso Trio presents a master class as part of a Guest Artist Mentor Residency with the Department of Chamber Music, also with support from Jazz & New Music, a program of Villa Albertine and Albertine Foundation.
Reverso is a trans-oceanic improvising chamber jazz project co-led by the Jazz Times and Downbeat #1 trombonist, Ryan Keberle, and Frank West, the acclaimed Paris-based pianist and music director for Ibrahim Maalouf. The trio, which also features the world class French improvising cellist, Vince Curt, performs original music that crosses the boundaries of jazz and classical music inspired by the early 20th century French composers Ravel, Faure, Poulenc, Milhaud, and the lesser known female composers, Germaine Tailleferre and Lili Boulanger. The band has toured throughout the USA and Europe over the past 8 years to rave reviews from audiences and critics alike including performances at festivals, clubs, theaters, universities, churches, chamber music series, and performing arts centers.
ABOUT THE GUEST ARTISTS
Reverso’s repertoire features original compositions by all three members of the ensemble inspired by the music of Lili Boulanger, Faure, Milhaud, Poulenc, Honeggar, Tailleferre, and Ravel’s “Le Tombeau de Couperin”.
RYAN KEBERLE is one of New York’s busiest trombonists. He leads his own big band, the All Ears Orchestra, along with the innovative small ensembles Catharsis, Reverso and Collectiv Do Brasil. He is a featured soloist with the Maria Schneider Orchestra and Darcy James Argue’s Secret Society. Keberle is the Director of Jazz and Brass Studies at CUNY’s Hunter College and teaches the jazz trombone studio at the Manhattan School of Music.
FRANK WEST resides in Burgundy, France, where he splits his activities between pianist, producer, composer, and arranger. Several of his albums have been awarded the French “Victoires du Jazz”, and he has won grants from the French-American Jazz Exchange. He is the music director for acclaimed French-Lebanese trumpeter, Ibrahim Maalouf. He has also worked with Dave Douglas, Mark Turner, Larry Grenadier, Clarence Penn, and Gretchen Parlato.
VINCE CURT is one of France’s finest cellists and improvising musicians. He has collaborated with several of France’s most important jazz musicians, including Michel Petrucciani, Martial Solal, Louis Sclavis, Marc Ducret, Dominique Pifarély, and Yves Robert.
