Jerome Harris is convening an in-depth examination of the work and life of legendary composer/bandleader/theorist/educator George Russell. While Russell's richly creative music, insightful ideas and pivotal position in jazz history have been celebrated around the world, he remains somewhat " below the radar," particularly in the United States. This event will be a major critical appraisal of his multi-faceted career and singular contributions to African American improvisational art music.
Panelists include Gunther Schuller, David Baker, Gary Giddins, Cameron Brown, Joe Hunt, Stanton Davis, Marty Ehrlich, Ken Schaphorst, Ben Schwendener and Russell biographer Duncan Heining. Professors Ingrid Monson of Harvard and John Howland of Rutgers will serve as panel moderators.
The event is sponsored by Boston's New England Conservatory of Music as part of its celebration of the 40th anniversary of its jazz studies program, the first fully accredited jazz program at a music conservatory.
Sunday, March 21, 2:00 pm to 6:00 pm; free admission.
