Join the Central Illinois Jazz Society as we celebrate the upcoming release of the debut album by the Derel Monteith Trio! The album, Quantity Of Life, will not be officially released until October 18, but Derel and the band are celebrating early with CIJS! Nine of Derel's original compositions appear on Quantity Of Life, all performed by Derel on piano with his longtime compatriots Andy Crawford on bass and Jason Brannon on drums, both of whom will be joining Derel to perform album selections at this concert. In tandem with the trio album, Derel will be releasing an album of solo piano improvisations called Connemara. Advance CD copies of both albums will be available at the concert. Derel has been playing jazz in Central Illinois since his arrival here in 2007; he formed his trio in 2015 and its high-energy, virtuosic style has become a regional jazz favorite. Come enjoy the music and help celebrate these new releases! .
