David Rodgers Flamenco Experiments Live Streaming Concert

The Nashville Jazz Workshop will present the next live streaming concert direct from the new Jazz Cave, featuring pianist and composer David Rodgers. The concert takes place Friday, June 11 at 7pm CDT, and will be streamed online through Eventbrite.

David will be joined by tenor saxophonist Nic Townsend for a duo set will of original material, with special guest Emily Rodgers on cello for the final piece.

The set will debut five recent compositions by David that pay homage to the flamenco music tradition. David has made a study of the intersection of flamenco and jazz, and we’re excited to hear the results — the first time this music has been performed anywhere!
