The compositions of Howard Britz, drawn from Jazz, Afro-Cuban, Gospel, RnB, and Brazilian traditions, will be played by his jazz piano trio.

Tompkins Corners will present The Howard Britz Trio, a Jazz piano trio featuring the music of American/English pianist, bassist, and composer, Howard Britz. Drawing from Jazz, Afro-Cuban, Gospel, RnB, and Brazilian traditions, Britz’s unique compositions tell musical stories and bring listeners into an intriguing world of ideas, sound, groove, and feeling. Britz’s music is melodic, open-hearted, emotional, and feel good. The trio will play music from their 2021 EP Comfort and Joy and many other tunes from Howard’s catalog.
