*PLEASE NOTE: All 6PM and 8PM shows at Smoke are Dinner Shows $25.00 / $40.00 / $50.00 / $55.00 – Wed, Thu, Fri & Sun Bill Charlap – piano David Wong – bass Kenny Washington – drums “The premiere mainstream piano trio of our day.” – The New Yorker Grammy award-winning pianist Bill Charlap leads his acclaimed piano trio featuring bassist David Wong and drummer Kenny Washington. Known as a master interpreter of the American Popular Songbook, Charlap brings unexpected insight to each reading. Time magazine says, “No matter how imaginative or surprising his take on a song is, [Charlap] invariably zeroes in on its essence.” Considered one of the leading artists of our time, he has performed with artists from Phil Woods and Tony Bennett to Gerry Mulligan and Wynton Marsalis, among many others. The New Yorker called him “a lyrical repository,” and The Guardian added, “Charlap’s touch on the keyboard is light, almost stealthy, even when playing full chords, but always firm, clear, and beautifully articulated.”
