NOSEND="1"><FONT size=-1>The jazz tradition enjoys a great history in the
Cleveland area. One of the primary carriers of the flame for the
past 60 years is pianist Skeets Ross. Ross' career scans much of
Cleveland's history and jazz history as well. His CD "The
Skeets Ross Trio" successfully captures his artistry and that of his band
members. His all-star group features another Cleveland jazz legend, Lamar
Gaines, on acoustic bass, and first-class drummer, Ralph Jackson.
Collectively this group has well over 100 years of professional jazz
experience--they all have been an inspiration to generations of younger
musicians and jazz fans throughout the area. <BR> <BR>Skeets Ross has
multiple performance credits including appearances at Severance Hall,
Cleveland State University, Tri-C, The Cleveland Playhouse, and major
clubs and concert halls throughout the region. <BR> <BR>Lamar Gaines
has backed several major stars including Erroll Garner, Teddy Wilson,
Sonny Stitt, Milt Jackson, and Roland Kirk.<BR> <BR>Ralph Jackson, a
prolific drummer, is a long time member of the Duke Jenkins Trio and has
worked with many big names over the years including Kenny Burrell, Joe
Alexander, Bill Hardman, and Ace Carter.<BR> <BR>As a special bonus,
Cleveland pianist Joe Hunter will open the show. He will also be
backed by Lamar Gaines and Ralph Jackson. Hunter, a professor at
Tri-C, has backed many big names at Nighttown including David "Fathead"
Newman, Ken Peplowski, Scott Hamilton, and many others.<BR> <BR><SPAN
