Marlene Dietrich is quoted as saying, “It’s the friends you can call at 4 a.m. that matter.” Becca, Tammy, and Kim are those kinds of lifelong 4 a.m. Friends with humor and heart and the ties that bind. A myriad of iconic moments, people, and fashion from the 1970s to the present propel these friends as they laugh, fight, argue, support, and love through some of life’s most challenging hurdles -- growing from their teens to their sixties. You know, just like you might do with your own 4 a.m. Friends.

Since touring with Ray Brown in early 2000s, pianist Larry Fuller has built a reputation as one of the hardest-swinging pianists on the scene.

A Yamaha-endorsed, GRAMMY-nominated artist, Fuller honed his craft the 'old school way' - on the bandstand performing in and recording with legendary ensembles: Ray Brown Trio, Jeff Hamilton Trio, John Pizzarelli Quartet.

Harnessing these extraordinary bandstand experiences – Fuller leads the New York City-based Larry Fuller Trio, presenting a musical program consistently praised for its emotive swinging style, monster technique, and program versatility.

At Keystone Korner, expect to hear anything from Stevie Wonder to Oscar Peterson, Wes Montgomery to George Gershwin, Ray Brown to Joni Mitchell, and much more!
