$45.00
Pulitzer Prize-winning composer, saxophonist and flutist, and NEA Jazz Master Henry Threadgill has spent his life reimagining the jazz landscape.
A groundbreaking innovator with his own unique musical universe, at 81, Threadgill continues to push boundaries – including as part of this genre-blurring all-star trio with fellow jazz legends, MacArthur “genius” grant recipients, and musician-composers pianist Vijay Iyer and percussionist Dafnis Prieto. Following a performance in Boston last season,Arts Fusehailed the “unique summit of three intellectually minded luminaries who bridged jazz, classical, Latin and South Asian influences.” The trio has yet to record together, and their performances are rare. Don’t miss the chance to hear them.
