Concept

The Concept:

The Providence Cutting Sessions is a program created by the Artistic Director of AS220, Bert Crenca, and a trio of local jazz musicians, Mike Bernier, Alex Chapman, and Nick Sollecito. This program’s mission is two-part. First, to give jazz musicians a venue to display their art and talent; second, to compose a new repertoire of jazz standards. Providence Cutting Sessions will display new and original jazz compositions by local musicians via this website. These compositions will mainly be in the style of the “Real Book,” which contains hundreds of well-known jazz standards.
