Celebrate one of the founding fathers of modern jazz, legendary drummer and bandleader Art Blakey. Blakey developed more great young musicians than anyone else from the 1950s to the end of the twentieth century with his group Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers. Three original Messengers, George Cables, Craig Handy, and Steve Davis, join us for this concert. Hear some of Blakey’s well-known tunes and original music from these three phenomenal artists. Joining the Messengers for this event are trumpet player Haneef Nelson, bassist Matt Dwonszyk, and drummer Ryan Sands, stepping into the big man’s shoes! Join us for music, photos, and stories of this monumental band leader, Art "Buhaina" Blakey!
Join us at 6:30 pm for a pre-show Q&A session with the musicians hosted by Jazz in the Berkshires.
Tickets $12 ($10 members, $8 students, $5 children 15 and under). This program is a collaboration with Jazz in the Berkshires.
Due to unforeseen circumstances, Craig Handy has replaced David Schnitter.
