Atherton Concert: Lenore Raphael
Pianist Lenore Raphael has watched musical styles come and go over the course of her career and, like all good jazz artists, has drawn from the best material available to her. And as it does for most musicians who savor a challenge, it means a return to the classic Great American Songbook… That’s likely how it’s going to stay until someone improves upon the legacy of Gershwin, Ellington, and their peers. Lenore and Guitarist Doug MacDonald are coming to our Atherton Studio tomorrow evening, and we talked with Lenore about her musical journey.
