Colvin Concerts: Christopher L. Wilson

Christopher Lucas Wilson is a hard swingin' pianist originally from metropolitan Detroit, transplanted for a decade to Los Angeles, and now living in Chicago. His music is highly influenced by hard swing, bebop, and the rich history of jazz piano trios. His focus is the uplifting nature of swing and the beauty behind the jazz piano trio. His arrangements are thoughtful and his music is contagious...

“There are players who skate more, players with more driving rhythms and more ‘original’ versions. For listeners thirsty for ‘notes...like hoisted water/raveling off a bucket,’ for the generous lyricism that left the planet with Hank Jones and Tommy Flanagan, Christopher Wilson is a reminder that our musical well is deep and fresh, that a new generation of players can still lead us to it.” ---Michael Lauchlan, author of Trumbull Ave

While RSVP is free, there is a suggested donation in place of a ticket price at the door so that Colvin House can pay their talented, local artists and continue supporting the performing arts. They ask that you contribute $20 or $15/person toward paying the musicians and staff for their efforts in producing these community concerts at the Colvin House.

Colvin House cannot make change so please bring the exact amount you plan on donating. While they also accept Zelle & PayPal, they do prefer cash donations. Thank you!

Please pull up to Colvin House's driveway gate (Thorndale Ave.) first to receive a parking permit which will provide further instructions.

For $20, valet parking is also available at the Malibu Condominiums (6007 N. Sheridan Rd.) public garage, just across the street, north of Colvin House. This parking can be validated by Colvin House for $2 off.
