The Good Life Reunion

Eric Schugren – tenor sax,

Cornel Fauler – drums,

Willem von Hombracht – bass

This trio has been playing together on and off for 35 years, ever since they first met in the early 1990s, when all three of them lived in Los Angeles. Their collaboration began at The World Stage, a jazz & poetry venue in the Leimert Park neighborhood of South Central LA, founded by drummer Billy Higgins and poet Kamau Da’houd. The trio branched off from a larger group called The Jazz Mission X-tet, and worked in several venues around ghe LA area. A long-standing weekly gig was at a live performance/health food spot, The Good Life. Since then each of the members have traveled widely, and worked with many other artists, but always took any opportunity to reunite. Schugren now lives in New York, and von Hombracht settled in St. Louis, but Fauler remains in his native Los Angeles.

Their repertoire includes both original compositions and favorite standards.

This will be their first appearance together at Keys; be sure to come out for some swinging grooves and good vibes!
