The Ernest Turner Trio at Tribeca Performing Arts

Ernest Turner Trio, winner of the 2019 DC Jazz Festival’s DCJazzPrix was founded by North Carolina based pianist Ernest Turner, and has been performing since 2006. The trio’s uniquely personal musical identity draws from Ernest’s varied musical experiences and influences, which ranges from European classical music to African American musical art forms such as gospel, jazz, and hip-hop. With an affinity for harmonic and rhythmic exploration, spontaneous improvisation and  the blues, the trio brings a fresh and unique perspective with their creative originals and re-imaginings of jazz and pop standards.
