2019 Shenson Faculty Concert Series: CMC piano, guitar, and theory faculty member Jono Kornfeld performs with the band Hop Sauce. Hop Sauce is a concoction of instrumental groove, funk and jazz, balancing improvisation with composition. The core trio (Jeff Cleland, bass; Chris Gamper, drums; and Jono Kornfeld, guitar) has a rich history of playing together going back nearly 30 years. Hop Sauce’s first CD, “Le Tasty,” features their diverse compositional prowess blended with an obvious love for in-the-moment playing and nimble improvisation.
This concert features the quintet version of the group, with Simon Rochester, keyboard; and Daniel Heffez, saxophone.
