Who You'll Meet

Vernon David & Rob Fontana

This dynamic jazz piano and cello duet brings a bold blend of improvisation and classical expression to their own unique arrangements of jazz standards and original works. Expect to hear a few pieces by some of our favorite pianists, such as Bill Evans, Chick Corea, and Michel Petrucciani, pieces by Wayne Shorter, Miles Davis, Clifford Brown and Frank Zappa, as well as a few of Fontana’s original compositions.
