2009-10 Season Preview: Soul Jazz of the 60s

Whether you call it hard bop or soul jazz, small bands like Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers and the Cannonball Adderley and Horace Silver quintets made some of the era's best-loved music, combining tight ensembles with emotional solos that produced a bluesy, church-driven sound. The concert features two all-star groups led by two all-star musicians: Wess "Warmdaddy" Anderson playing from his alto saxophone inspiration Cannonball Adderley, and Kenny"The Jazz Maniac" Washington channeling his heroes Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers and composer-pianist Horace Silver.
