Dick Durham
The Mainstay 5753 N Main St., Rock Hall, Maryland 21661
Mainstay favorite and virtuoso pianist Dick Durham returns with some of his favorite musical compatriots in tow. These wonderful musicians will join Dick on stage for an evening of exquisite instrumental jazz, full of the beauty of the American Song Book. John Wilson in the New York Times once proclaimed that Dick has “A Style approaching that of a quartet." His compositions have earned him two separate Maryland Governor’s Citations for excellence in the performing arts in 2003 and 2005. Ballads from his original musicals (adaptation of ‘She Stoops to Conquer’ and ‘Celluloid’) reflect on the joy and pathos of life. His jazz variations on the scores of musicals like “West Side Story” earn standing ovations. Whatever the surprises this musical magician pulls out of his hat, this will be a wonderful evening of jazz, from solos to ensemble numbers played with virtuosity, emotion and humor. Dick will be joined by Amy Shook on bass, Jaron Davis on drums, and Blake Cramer on the vibraphone.
