Javon Jackson-tenor sax & Lewis Nash-drums, with Donald Harrison-alto sax | Robin Eubanks-trombone | Eddie Henderson-trumpet | George Cables-piano | David Williams-bass
Art Blakey and The Jazz Messengers was one of the most important and influential ensembles in modern jazz history — widely credited with ushering the music into the modern era, and pioneering the bebop and hard bop sounds that still dominate today’s scene. The Jazz Message is an all-star tribute group that continues in the same spirit, featuring six former Jazz Messengers, plus master drummer Lewis Nash, performing familiar favorites from the Blakey songbook.
These “OMT” shows will be streamed on Facebook in their entirety (minus the intermission) so that you can enjoy them along with others (virtually, of course) as if you were in the audience. You can comment interactively with other viewers and the musicians who are viewing the show. NOTE: If you are unable to watch shows at the scheduled times, they will be available on our Facebook page for viewing on demand afterwards.
