Jazz at the MEMO presents Dan Karlsberg “Rooms without Walls” Album Release Concert

In celebration of the release of Dan’s 7th album as a leader, and his first that is solo piano, he will be performing music from the album. This includes Dan’s interpretations of music by pianist/composers such as Thomas “Fats” Waller, Mulgrew Miller, Scott Joplin, along with original music of his own and other Cincinnati based musician/composers. 

Featuring Dan Karlsberg (piano)
