Cool School & Hard Bop: THe JLCO with Wynton Marsalis

ABOUT THE SHOW

The cool jazz movement was defined by its mellow lyricism and striking, often surprising arrangements; and hard bop by its bluesy melodicism and virtuosic vocabulary. Music-directed by JLCO saxophonist Sherman Irby and frequent collaborator, pianist Joe Block, Cool School & Hard Bop traces the genres’ shared themes through reinterpretations of seminal recordings by Miles Davis, the Modern Jazz Quartet, the Max Roach-Clifford Brown Quintet, Horace Silver, Art Blakey, and more.
