| The Bill Charlap Trio in The Allen Room  Jazz at Lincoln Center will present the incomparable Bill Charlap Trio joined by some very special guests to present The Birth Of Cool on March 30 & 31, 2007 in The Allen Room in Frederick P. Rose Hall, home to Jazz at Lincoln Center. Bill Charlap (piano) and his trio consisting of Peter Washington (bass) and Kenny Washington (drums) will anchor an ensemble that includes Frank Wess (tenor), Warren Vaché (trumpet), Mark Turner (sax), Jerry Dodgion (sax) and Mary Stallings. Additional musicians include: Jon Gordon (sax), Scott Robinson (baritone sax), Joe Magnarelli (trumpet), and Gene Bertoncini (guitar). Highlights include Ms. Stalling's interpretation of the Billie Holiday standards "Pennies From Heaven" and "Laughing at Life.""The concert will be essentially a history of cool from Lester Young through Miles Davis", explains Bill Charlap. "We're going through Lester, how the music met the bop esthetic, the innovations of Bird and Dizzy. We'll be playing some of the 'Birth of the Cool' album, not recreations, but our own interpretation of 'Cool School' arrangers like Gerry Mulligan and Johnny Carisi." write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Jazz News :: home page |
