Homage to the Jazz Messengers Series
Origins: Compositions of Horace Silver
Thursday * April 24 * doors 6:30pm, show at 7 pm * $10-30
James Zeller joins forces with young drumming phenom Ramsey Isaacs to present a series of concerts honoring Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers. The Jazz Messengers began as a collective group in the 1950s and continued for over 35 years ending with Art Blakey‘s passing in 1990. An incredible number of jazz luminaries were at one time “Jazz Messengers”, including Lee Morgan, Wayne Shorter, Freddie Hubbard, Cedar Walton, Curtis Fuller, Kenny Dorham and Benny Golson, just to name a few.
The series will take place once a month on Thursday nights at the Arcata Playhouse, moving chronologically through Jazz Messengers history. Each show will feature the music of a composer or multiple composers from a particular period.
