There are no tricks, only treats on at Smalls Halloween Music Festival, a special All Hallows Eve night of music with three magical acts.
The lineup that takes the stage at 9 p.m. at the Sathorn live music house is so good, it’s scary!: The Basic Jazz Trio, “Mint” Passakorn Morasilpin and DJ Freddy Funk will mix up a witch’s brew of great music.
Basic Jazz Trio at Smalls Halloween Music Festival
Created at Smalls in 2023, the Basic Jazz Trio is comprised of Francesco Tortora on drums, Kata Komkris on double bass and Phuton Kemarphirato on trumpet.
According to Tortora, “the naming and structure of the trio was born through a brainstorming dialog with David Jacobson, founder and owner of Smalls and is based on the reinterpretation of songs by Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, Wayne Shorter, Ken Garrett, among others. Contemporary jazz based on creativity and improvisation.”
