Jazz at Atherton

Pianist Les Peetz, bassist Lou Benanto and drummer Scott Shafer will perform a tribute to jazz trios of the past, beginning at 7:30 p.m. Saturday at KHPR's Atherton Performance Studio.

The trio will also be exploring original territory and some classical sources, among them Brahms, Debussy and Bartok. Trio members know the repertoire is somewhat unusual and hope it will also be tuneful.

Admission is $10 for HPR members and $12 for non-members. The studio is at 738 Kaheka St. Call 955-8821 for reservations.

KIPO, Bamboo Ridge Press and HTY are pooling their talents in the fourth live recording session of "Aloha Shorts" stories at 7 p.m. Monday at Atherton Performance Studio, Hawaii Public Radio, 738 Kaheka St. (across from Daiei).
