Pianist, trumpeter, composer ROBERT SILVERMAN has been a fixture on the New
York Jazz Scene since 1985. After playing in Europe, and with Albert King,
Jimmy Heath, George Russell, Cecil McBee and the Ron Levy Bluesman band, Robert
went on to form his own ensemble featuring original compositions, the blues,
and standards. Mr. Silverman has been featured in New York on NBC TV, WKCR,
WBAI, and WNYC Radio's Around New York. He is the recipient of two "Meet
the Composer Grants", and has written music for Thomas Stacy, principal
English Horn of the New York Philharmonic. His 2006 release, BLUE SILVER, features
Silverman on vocals and piano in a wide array of music featured here from Bessie
Smith to Duke Ellington to some new Heckman classics. Mr. Silverman performs
regularly at The Yale Club of New York City, Louis 649, The National Gallery
in Washington, DC, the Boat House Cafe in Central Park, the Savoy Lounge, the
Water Club, Birdland, Sugar Bar, and many other clubs and concert halls in
the greater New York area. Mr. Silverman is the former director of jazz studies
and performance and music director of the Dwight School in New York City.
The performance will start at 1 PM sharp. Come to New Haven and be part of
the live audience. Arrive early, settle in with a cup of coffee and enjoy some
great music in downtown New Haven. There is no admission charge, but we will
be asking for a goodwill donation in any amount to support the artists and
WPKN Radio.
