Rags’ Riches: Jonathan Batiste and Imani Winds
Thursday, May 07, 2009 8:00 pm | purchase tickets
Discover two excitingly different approaches to the dialogue between jazz writing and improvisation, touching on the history of jazz from the ragtime era to the present day. Young New Orleans virtuoso Jonathan Batiste applies a New Orleans flair to ragtime and classic jazz, making the music deeply his own. Imani Winds will present the fruits of their collaborations with living jazz composers, along with their own arrangements of the jazz works of the past.
Single tickets: $30 (members $20)
