Jeff Knoettner’s Tribute to Thelonious Monk (Jazz Matinee) – Jazz Cultural Voices Concert Series 2025
February 9, 2025 @ 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm
Jeff Knoettner has performed widely, including with his own group (jeffjazz trio). He’s played at festivals nationwide, including at Delaware’s own renowned Clifford Brown Jazz Festival, where he’s played with bands that opened for performers like Buddy Guy, B.B. King, BWB, and Grammy- and Emmy- winner Arturo Sandoval. And for over 25, years, he’s been pianist for The Cartoon Christmas Trio, whose holiday tunes pack the house in scores of venues.
As a performer and composer, Knoettner is inspired by a host of musicians – from early influences (those big band albums, Maynard Ferguson, Chuck Mangione) to current performers like Pat Metheny, Herbie Hancock, and The Yellowjackets.
