Jazz | The Charlie Parker Jazz Festival

Saturday, August 28, 2010, 3:00 pm to 7:00 pm

Free

Featuring:

Jazz pianist McCoy Tyner‟s distinctive and powerful blues-based style is defined by his "explosively percussive left hand." His approach to melodies and chord-voicing has made him one of the most influential jazz pianists of the 20th century and his techniques have been mimicked by countless musicians. Tyner is a unique improvisational player who has released a staggering number of albums at nearly 80.

Composer and pianist Jason Moran keeps the swing tradition alive in modern jazz. Teaming with bassist Tarus Mateen, and drummer Nasheet Waits to become Jason Moran and the Bandwagon, this is one of the most creative piano jazz trios around. Beginning with the debut album Soundtrack to Human Motion to Artist in Residence, this force to be reckoned with has challenged the status quo by combining elements that include improvisation, avant-garde jazz, classical music, hip-hop and spoken word.

The distinct soulful and romantic voice of Jimmy Scott continues to charm audiences even at the age of 84. A regular on the jazz scene in the 1950‘s and 60‘s, Jimmy‘s career came roaring back in the early 90‘s and has continued to flourish ever since. His natural style, phrasing and knack for bending notes have earned him a long list of admirers including the who‘s who of fellow jazz greats.

Revive Da Live‟s premiere "Charlie Parker Revisited" is an innovative tribute to the musical and cultural legacy of Charles Parker and will be led by an all-star band featuring Raydar Ellis, Ben Williams, Justin Brown, Jaleel Shaw, Marcus Strickland, Marc Cary, Corey King and Ingmar Thomas. Tonight‘s show will explore the genius of Parker by combining music from his past with modern-day interpretations.
