Thu brings the elegance of her jazz trio to the Channing House, one of Palo Alto’s premiere residential homes. She is joined by the Bay Area’s top musicians, including Aaron Germain on double bass and Anne Sajdera on piano. This event is open to residents of Channing House and their guests.

Aaron Germain, is a bassist, composer, and bandleader, adept at diverse genres of music, which reflects in his eclectic compositions. He is a first-call musician within the Bay Area. In his most recent album, "Bell Projections," music critic George W. Harris wrote, “Every song is a Givenchy garden of water lilies.”

As a pianist, composer, bandleader and accompanist, Anne Sajdera is a creative force whose music encompasses an unusually far-flung array of traditions. With musical roots spanning the globe, she melds American and Brazilian jazz to her training in European classical music, creating a personal sound that’s melodically verdant, harmonically sophisticated and rhythmically compelling. Her first release, Azul (Bijuri Records, 2012) earned a spot on JAZZIZ Magazines Top Ten Critic’s Poll for 2012, followed by New Year (Bijuri Records 2018), chosen by Down Beat Magazine for the December 2018 Editor’s Pick list. Anne can be heard on jazz radio stations throughout the US and has performed in many of the Bay Area’s most frequented venues including The California Jazz Conservatory, Herbst Theater, Piedmont Piano Company and SFJAZZ.
