Live: Alexander Brott Jazz Trio

In connection with Through the Playful Eyes of Elliott Erwitt, we invite you to an evening of classic jazz, performed by musicians deeply rooted in the tradition.

The Alexander Brott Trio draws inspiration from the swing of the 1940s and 1950s and takes the stage alongside New York-based saxophonist Zaid Nasser. As the son of legendary bassist Jamil Nasser and a protégé of Lou Donaldson and George Coleman, Zaid brings a unique energy, passion, and authentic jazz vibe to the band. Together, they create a warm, playful, and lively sound, full of character and effortless swing.
