The holiday performance will feature acclaimed drummer Matt Wilson, who will be joined by multireedist Jeff Lederer and bassist Paul Sikivie on Dec. 7. 

The New York based drummer has been recognized by The New York Times as “easily one of the best drummers of his generation,” and as “one of the most in-demand and versatile musicians in jazz,” by DownBeat. Wislon will lead the mainstream jazz trio in a fun and high-spirited performance of some of the favorite classic holiday tunes.
