The performance series Music for a Great Space continues tonight with an unusual concert spanning genres, nations and generations.

Chris Brubeck, the Grammy nominated composer, pianist, trombonist, bassist and son of the late great Dave Brubeck, will perform in an intimate combo setting with a group of French jazz masters, and his longtime friend, UNC Greensboro piano professor John Salmon

The concert is tonight at 7:30pm in the UNCG Recital Hall and is presented by the Eastern Music Festival and Music For A Great Space.  The concert features some of the world's finest jazz musicians: Chris Brubeck, trombone, Guillaume Saint-James, saxophones, Jerome Seguin, bass, and Thierry Arpino, drums, and John Salmon on keyboards. On the program, music by Chris Brubeck, Dave Brubeck arrangements and more.

David Ford spoke to John Salmon, who in addition to being an acclaimed classical soloist on four continents, is also an exceptional jazz performer whose multifaceted career path began with a fan letter he wrote decades ago to Chris' father: Dave Brubeck.
