About the event
Binns Melander has been studying and playing the piano for most of his 83 years!
His lifetime of work playing and composing music includes a role as the White House pianist during the Johnson Administration, 1964-68. Binns enjoys playing in both jazz and classical styles.
The Binns Melander Jazz Trio will perform a variety of jazz tunes with Kit Bailey on drums, Jason Wilkins on bass, and Binns on the house baby grand – which he arranged to have expertly tuned in anticipation of this special performance.
