About the event
Description
What came to be known as “free jazz” emerged during the late fifties and early sixties as musicians endeavored to find a language for expressing themselves unconstrained by old paradigms. The curious listener will discover how these artists redefined the laws of jazz by pushing improvisation to new limits, capturing the full range of human emotion.
Over three sessions, we’ll engage the music of free jazz pioneers Albert Ayler, Sun Ra, and Alice and John Coltrane. We’ll explore the spiritual qualities of their repertoire by listening to albums, watching performances, and reflecting together in small and large groups. Consider this an invitation to an avante-garde listening club!
