The poster pretty well says it all, other than to note that Clayton Connell is an extremely talented piano player who made a big impression at jazz camp last summer. I got a chance to play with him a couple of times and I really liked the mature way he approached the music. He sounded like he'd been playing for 30 years. So, on Wednesday night at Carleton, you not only get a chance to hear Clayton play, you also get a chance to support his music studies in Austria. Sounds like a win-win to me. (For those not fluent in German, by virtue of taking the same university German course three times and almost passing it, I can tell you that Clayton is heading for the University of Music and Performing Arts in Graz.)
