George DeLancey • Larry Fuller • George Fludas — Ray Brown Centennial Tribute

Fri, Jan 30

Bassist George DeLancey brings a powerhouse trio to Caffè Vivace on January 30 to honor the centennial of jazz bass icon Ray Brown. Known for his rich tone and deep sense of swing, DeLancey has performed with leading voices such as Houston Person, Johnny O’Neal, and Wycliffe Gordon, and he leads a group perfectly suited to this tribute: acclaimed pianist Larry Fuller, a former member of Ray Brown’s Trio, and Chicago drum master George Fludas, whose crisp, driving time has supported legends including Monty Alexander, Cedar Walton, Diana Krall, and Joey DeFrancesco. Together, the trio celebrates Brown’s enduring legacy with the joyful groove, melodic clarity, and impeccable swing that defined his music. A must-hear night for fans of straight-ahead jazz and the timeless tradition of the bass. A $15 drink/food minimum is charged per person in the party, per set, if the total for beverages purchased by the party does not meet the minimum.
