Dana Saul Trio

"...wonderfully complex and complete" – John Pietaro, The NYC Jazz Record

NYC-based jazz pianist Dana Saul brings a new piano trio to The Dance Hall in Kittery to

perform new works composed by the leader as well as repertoire from the canon. The trio

of Saul on piano, Adam Olszewski on double bass, and Jonas Esser on drums, has been

developing a cohesive group sound on compositions of lengthy through-composed forms

which prioritize a quiet, slow-burning energy. Saul and his group are keen to workshop

their new material for a Maine audience.

"...meditative and compelling, almost seeming to slow the passage of time"

– Phil Freeman, DownBeat Magazine
