Jazz Legacies Fellowship Honors Concert Rose Hall Lincoln Center 1-8-26
As part of the Unity Jazz Festivaly, this concert featured 18 of the twenty 2025 inaugural cohort Mellon Foundation Jazz Legacies Fellows. Great performances by all in various configurations. I had the honor of playing in a quintet setting with George Coleman, Julian Priester, Reggie Workman and Billy Hart as well as a trio with Russel Hall and Roger Humphries and a quartet with George Coleman. Other performers included Bertha Hope, Amina Claudine Meyers, Roscoe Mitchell , Carmen Lundy, Valerie Capers, Johnny O'Neil, Dom Salvador, Herlin Reiley. Am honored to be a part of this life-changing initiative. It was such a joy to be together and make music.
