Jazz concert slated for Manalapan library

Giacomo Gates and Trio will perform a Jazz Concert 2 p.m. Dec. 16 at the Monmouth County Library Headquarters, 125 Symmes Drive.

Heavily steeped in the traditions of the original vocal improvisers from Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald through their modern counterparts, Betty Carter and Leon Thomas, Giacomo's own approach draws most heavily from the bebop-rooted masters like Jon Hendricks, Babs Gonzales, King Pleasure and Eddie Jefferson. Like his influences, Gates has forged his own unique path.

Gates has three CDs, with his most recent release, "Centerpiece," on Origin Records prevailing for more than three months in the top 20 of the Jazz Week charts.

The concert is free and open to the public. Details: (732) 431-7220 or www.monmouthcountylib. org.
