JazzPOP: The Jeff Gauthier Goatette
- to This is a past program
A driving force in the L.A. jazz and creative music scene for decades, violinist Jeff Gauthier makes dynamic music that is folksy and lyrical one moment, explosive and asymmetrical the next. Gauthier’s Goatette was formed more than 20 years ago, and to hear these old friends navigate his squirrelly compositions with the conviction of master improvisers is a real treat.
