"I Hear a Rhapsody" composed by George Fragos, Jack Baker, and Dick Gasparre, as played by the Bijan Taghavi Trio 4.1.25 at the Révéler in Richmond, VA:
🎹 Bijan Taghavi
🎻 Matt Hall
🥁 Kofi Shepsu

📍What a perfect way to cap this Southeast Tour with this special TRIO show at the RÉVÉLER in RICHMOND, VIRGINIA with these amazing cats.

🥁 Always inspiring to share the bandstand with my musical compadre Kofi Shepsu on drums. He’s so musical behind the kit and endlessly creative, constantly pushing the music—and my playing—in new directions. We’ve played together in a variety of musical configurations over the years, in Michigan & NYC, but this the first time I played with him in his HOMETOWN of Richmond. Today is also his birthday—happy birthday Kofi! 🎉

🎻 This was my first time playing with Matt Hall on bass who is a tremendous player. Such a supportive player and an amazing soloist, who can handle any tune or tempo with ease. And it was incredibly humbling to see how deeply he checked out the music (he knew my tunes even better than me!). Making music with both of them was like being a kid on a playground.

🎥 Stay tuned for more clips coming soon from this special performance. And shoutout to Tom at the Révéler for creating such a cool, inspiring space to play in. I can’t wait to come back and break in the new Yamaha G-series grand coming later this year.
