Warren Chiasson, hailed as “one of the six top vibraphonists of the last half century” by The New York Times, will give a master class from 1 to 2:30 p.m. on Monday, Feb. 9, in Room 0540 at CCRI’s Knight Campus. The campus is located at 400 East Ave. in Warwick.

Chiasson has collaborated with some of the finest musicians in jazz, including Paul Bley, Ron Carter, Roland Hanna and the late Jimmy Garrison from the original John Coltrane Quintet.

The Canadian vibist will illustrate the noted four-mallet system he developed for playing vibes and will discuss how to get a good sound, proper pedaling, choice of mallets and transcribing piano music for the vibraphone. He also will perform with some jazz students.

This concert is free and open to the public. For more information, contact Cheri Markward at cmarkward@ccri.edu.
