Step into the soulful, hard-swinging world of the Blue Note era, a time when jazz was bold, melodic, and deeply grooving. This performance features iconic tunes by legendary artists like Freddie Hubbard, Herbie Hancock, Lou Donaldson, and more. From cool modal landscapes to fiery hard bop and blues-drenched grooves, this instrumental program captures the timeless spirit of 1950s and ’60s jazz.
