Renown Steinway jazz pianist Lenore Raphael recently performed with bassist Herman Burney at Clarksburg’s historic Waldomore.
Critics have hailed her performance as “emotional” and “artistically subtle.” Jazz writer John Gilbert has called Lenore “Simply one of the best pianists in our art form… She always swings.”
You too can experience that night’s swinging Steinway performance by purchasing Dialogue: Live at the Waldomore at the library circulation desk for only $10! All proceeds go to support the Clarksburg-Harrison Public Library and its services.
