Jazz Night: “The Transformative Power of Jazz"

Jazz Night is back at the West End Museum- This time Garrison Fewell and Eric Hofbauer will play jazz oriented music, based on the history and evolution of music from India, persia, Afghanistan, Africa, Delta Blues, and African American jazz composers such as Thelonious Monk and Duke Ellington. The duo uses percussion and guitar simultaneously, and items from around the world such as African and Asian drum sticks, Indian and Moroccan bells, Afghan jewelry, violin bows and metal box slides.

A brief history of jazz is given in the beginning, shared by Professor Eric Hofbauer who teaches Jazz History at Emerson College, and Garrison Fewell explains the historical and spiritual relevance of improvisation in jazz music.

There is an opportunity for the audience to ask questions during our performance, something which always stirs the imagination and gets everyone involved. It is a show for all ages.
