Jazz pianist Scott Wilkie’s latest release ‘Brasil’ was one of JAZZIZ Magazine's Best of 2019, and was Amazon’s #1 Hot New Release for 17 straight weeks. Known for his fiery live performances, he’s coming to DVAC for the first time with Brazilian guitarist Roberto Montero, bassist Bill Saitta and drummer Jeff Olson.

Twenty years after titling his debut contemporary jazz album Boundless, pianist, keyboardist and composer Scott Wilkie continues to push limits, deepen his artistry, expand his repertoire, and in the case of his latest masterwork Brasil, pursue long simmering passion projects. 

Featuring fresh re-imaginings of timeless Brazilian classics, Rio-related pop and jazz gems, and even one of Wilkie’s own tunes, the 10-track set is a spirited live-in-studio session featuring the talented keyboardist jamming for the first time with the quartet of Jeff Olson (his drummer for many years), three-time Grammy Award winning bassist Jimmy Haslip (co-founder of the Yellowjackets and associate of Brazilian greats Flora Purim and Ivan Lins), and Brazilian native Kleber Jorge, longtime touring guitarist for Sergio Mendes.

MUSIC AT THE CENTER is a fundraiser for The DVAC and its programs.  Beverages will be available for purchase. Guests have access to the current gallery exhibition as well as the concert.  Doors open at 6:30 pm with the concert beginning at 7:00 pm.
