Eliot Schoolyard Concert: Phil Sargent & Brian Friedland

Date: August 21

Time: 4:00-5:30pm

Venue: Eliot School of Fine & Applied Arts, 24 Eliot Street, Jamaica Plain

Guitarist Phil Sargent joins pianist Brian Friedland for jazz improvisation with a “boundary-pushing,” “modernist” bent. Jazz Review says, “Sargent’s musicality is asymmetrical parts beauty and power. He also incorporates melodic hooks into the mix, where superior technique, cunning interactions, memorable song-forms and seething solo jaunts attain a near-flawless symmetrical presence.” Friedland’s music has been described as “inspirationally crafted, an excellent and interesting mix of art works.” This is part of the Eliot Schoolyard Concert Series, 15 live events, Sundays at 4pm, June through September at the Eliot Schoolyard.
