Entertainment
Live jazz music by the Mark Zaleski Trio
 The Mark Zaleski Trio takes jazz standards from the great American songbook and fuses them together with rhythms of Latin, African, rock, funk, hip-hop, and Balkan music. The melodies of their music are of common knowledge to most listeners, but the grooves and improvisations create a unique modern jazz experience. Zaleski has performed with the likes of Christian McBride, Dave Brubeck, the Either/Orchestra, the John Allmark Jazz Orchestra, and Jethro Tull as a bassist, saxophonist, and clarinetist. He is joined by Lefteris Kordis on piano and Karen Kocharyan on drums.
