Lorca Hart Trio

Where: Hotel Healdsburg Lobby, 25 Matheson St., Healdsburg

There are always surprises at the Healdsburg Jazz Festival, and one place you are almost guaranteed to find some is the Hotel Healdsburg. That’s where the musicians come to hang out after their gigs are done, and they often sit in with the band. And when the band is led by drummer Lorca Hart, anything is possible. Ben Stolorow and Sam Bevan round out the trio, on piano and bass respectively.

Lorca is the son of one of jazz’s real drum legends, Billy Hart. Since he’s been hired by musicians ranging from Hugh Masakela to Julian Lage to Red Holloway, you can consider this Hart well seasoned. Come over to the Lobby and see for yourself.
