Concerts
Rob Block
Wednesday October 30th
Every Wednesday
As a guitarist, Block is known for his impeccable phrasing and his rare balance of blazing technique and concise, on-the-mark improvisation. “Rob is an amazing musician,” says Steve Schenkel, one of the area’s best jazz guitarists and a professor at Webster University. “He’s a world-class guitarist, and his touch, tone and time are impeccable. I consider every concert that I play with him like a free guitar lesson.”
As a pianist, Block has made an impact on both the jazz and Latin-music scenes, working with an array of groups. He also led his own Latin jazz band for several months at Club Viva! on Monday nights. In the process, he’s become so proficient at the keyboard that some knowledgeable jazz fans — if forced to choose — would opt for his adventurous piano playing over his dexterous guitar work. “One of the things that makes Rob such an accomplished musician is his skill on both piano and guitar,” explains pianist Venn, who’s played with Block for several years. “He has the experience and understanding to really appreciate what I’m trying to do on piano, and that enables us to work together with such great empathy.”
