Jazz Bridge Concert Featuring Steve Giordano

Philadelphia jazz guitarist Steve Giordano is a world-renowned master of his craft. Navigating effortlessly and creatively though the traditional sub-genres of jazz, it is obvious to the sensitive and critical listener that Giordano's improvisations are drawing inspiration from obscure and eclectic sources that exist beyond the boundaries of the jazz aficionado's record collection. Steve defies expectations by masterfully weaving fragments of  melodic dissonance  and harmonic tension into standards that are often well over a half-century old.

Now in its 9th year at the Cheltenham Center for the arts, Jazz Bridge is a non-profit arts organization serving a need no one else is addressing in the Philadelphia area: responding to local jazz and blues artists in times of need. Proceeds from the neighborhood concert series go to help local jazz musicians in personal or professional crisis. Concerts feature prominent jazz and blues musicians during an hour and a half long program which includes a Q&a with the artists and light refreshments.
