For Years Gone features a mix of originals and interpretations of standards including “Pure Imagination,” “Something,” and “In a Sentimental Mood.”

“Any jazz guitarist who dare enter the realm of the trio setting needs to be fully aware of the nature of the beast, for inside that triangle lies both treasure and treachery. Jewels only shine when the guitarist successfully navigates the waters of balancing melody, harmony, and rhythm as one seamless stream. The challenge, however, is always lurking around the bend when there is nowhere to hide in the screaming silence that surrounds you when any one of the three elements become invisible: Intellect and ingenuity are the only paddles that keep you from drowning between bass and drums. Steve Knight is one brave soul.” – Dr. Wayne Goins, Kansas State University

Two shows at 8PM and 10PM; $20 (GA)/$30 (VIP)/$15 (Student)
