Beatles. Joe’s playing is influenced by Bill Evans, George Shearing, Art Tatum, Dave McKenna, Chopin, and many of

Appearing the first Friday of each month at The Java Room, the trio consists of Morgan Scott on piano, Sven Larson
on bass and Ed Conley on drums, percussion. “We create adventurous music of the moment...”spontaneous
composition” at times and traditional jazz standards at others. Sometimes a quick burst of an idea comes across one
of our minds’ ear, and if we are free of ourselves we let that idea emerge. The rest of the group will react to the idea,
or the idea presented exists as a counterpoint to whatever is already going on in the music. The result can be
astounding...and not so astounding...but it will always be.
