Performances: May 10-11, 7pm
Two nights of sensational music hosted by NEA Jazz Master Dee Dee Bridgewater! Now in its 24th year, our annual Mary Lou Williams Jazz Festival celebrates the legendary pianist and composer whose talent inspired many of the early bebop giants including Dizzy Gillespie and Thelonious Monk. Join us May 10 for Feed the Fire, a night dedicated Geri Allen featuring Terri Lyne Carrington, NEA Jazz Master Dave Holland, Maurice Chestnut, and Jason Moran. Saturday's program features the NEA Jazz Master Joanne Brackeen Quartet, the Renee Rosnes Quartet, and more to be announced at a later date. See the full lineup below!
