Conservatory's Jazz40 Summit. $25 NEC's Jordan Hall
http://necmusic.edu/nec-jazz40-summit Hot and Cool. At New England
Conservatory, jazz runs hot in young musicians' veins. It means the blaze of
improvisation and individual creativity, the warmth of interaction in small
ensembles. Experimentation is encouraged. And that's cool! This tradition
goes back 40 years, when NEC launched the first fully accredited jazz
studies program at a music conservatory. In celebrating the 40th anniversary
of this creative first, NEC dips into the past, present, and future.
Tonight's performers are a who's who of jazz innovators that includes alumni
and past faculty like Carl Atkins,
Bob Brookmeyer, Don Byron,
Roger Kellaway, Gunther Schuller; current faculty
like
Ran Blake,
Dominique Eade,
Billy Hart,
Fred Hersch, and
Cecil McBee; and the face of the future of jazz found
in recent alumni like Rachael Price. |

Marty & Sol are 88 and 87 years old, respectively, and still swinging hard!
