Pianist Linda Presgrave, a St. Louis expatriate now living in NYC, will return to her hometown on Saturday, June 7 to perform at Cookie's Jazz and More. Presgrave will be joined on the gig by her husband Stan Chovnick on soprano sax, plus a St. Louis rhythm section comprised of Dave Troncoso on bass and Jim Guglielmo on drums. Although she moved to New York in 1998, Presgrave has made regular return visits to St. Louis, including several previous appearances at Cookie's. Presgrave has a special interest in performing and promulgating the work of female composers, and she and her band recently were one of two American groups featured in an Italian concert series dedicated to women in jazz. Presgrave will have a new CD titled Inspiration on the Metropolitan Records label later this year.
