🎼🎷🎹 #ArtIsAWeapon #JazzLovers - this is an exceptional lineup! Reposted from @jazznightinamerica Today the NEA Jazz Masters Tribute Concert will stream live at 8pm EDT (5pm PT). [www.sfjazz.org]. This year, the NEA honors bassist Reggie Workman (@reggieworkman), saxophonist Roscoe Mitchell, vocalist Bobby McFerrin (@bobby.mcferrin) and jazz advocate Dorthaan Kirk. They'll each deliver remarks, as will NEA chairperson Mary Anne Carter and SFJAZZ (@sfjazz) founder and executive artistic director Randall Kline (@sfjazzrandall). And the event — hosted by 2017 NEA Jazz Master and former NPR JazzSet broadcaster Dee Dee Bridgewater (@deedeebridgewater) — will feature musical contributions from an impressive range of musicians, including saxophonists Oliver Lake and James Carter, trumpeter Ambrose Akinmusire (@ambroseire), and vocalists Lisa Fischer (@l.i.s.a.f.i.s.c.h.e.r) and Madison McFerrin (@madmcferrin). As she did for last year's concert, Grammy-winning drummer and composer Terri Lyne Carrington (@terrilynecarrington) will serve as musical director. After the webcast, SFJAZZ will host a virtual "Meet the Jazz Masters" reception, featuring the inductees and Kline in a lively Q&A. Tune in at 8 p.m. ET via the link in our bio. #NEAJazzMasters #Jazz #VirtualConcert #LivePerformences #TraScapades #MusicIsLife #ArtIsAWeapon https://www.instagram.com/p/CEH0rfMAIyW/?igshid=7uq64oprkeng
