Double bassist Xavier Foley who played this past Sunday afternoon at Hudson Hall (the old renovated opera house in Hudson) is a rising star approaching the level of Gary Karr. He is an amazing musician at home in a plethora of musical styles. He is (like Wynton Marsalis) that rare musician who can play both classical and jazz. Foley was accompanied by pianist Kelly Yu-Chieh who is finishing her doctorate at Rutgers University under Daniel Epstein (link is external).
