Event Description

Grammy-winning saxophonist and composer Joe Lovano and two-time Grammy-nominated trumpeter Dave Douglas are both masters within the pantheon of modern jazz.  They debuted their Sound Prints quintet in 2013 as an homage to Wayne Shorter’s risk-taking, fearlessly inventive spirit.  “The whole concept of the band is dialogue and interaction,” Douglas notes, “And when you play that way, nobody can retreat into the role of their instrument.  Everybody’s playing everything, all the time.”  The performance features Leo Genovese (piano), Matt Penman (bass) and Rudy Royston (drums).
