CARNEGIE HILL CONCERTS PRESENTS:

HANNAH MARKS TRIO

About The Show

Inspired by leader Hannah Marks’ time spent playing folk songs and hymns in a church band while growing up in Des Moines, IA, Salt of the Earth performs fully improvised renditions of timeless melodies like “Poor Wayfaring Stranger”, “Simple Gifts”, and “Turkey in the Straw”. Marks (who performs frequently with Miles Okazaki) is joined by avant-garde heavyweights Jacob Sacks (Paul Motian, David Binney, Dan Weiss) and Tom Rainey (Tim Berne, Nels Cline, Ingrid Laudbrock), creating an intergenerational partnership that is full of surprises.
