The Tufts University Department of Music’s Sunday Concert Series presents the Tall Tale Trio, celebrating its second self released CD, “Longing.” The album is an evocative sonic ride of original chamber-style jazz fueled by the compositions of bassist Andrew Blickenderfer, and the interpretative nuances of drummer Gary Fieldman, and pianist Michael McLaughlin. All three musicians come from a unique background of performance traditions. Trained at a young age in classical music, by their late teens, the three were venturing into jazz, free-improv, and various ethnic music traditions from Senegalese pop to klezmer to Armenian jazz.  All of these influences come together to create a sound reminiscent of jazz artists like Keith Jarrett and Eberhard Weber, but clearly original and fresh in its creative voice.
