Gary Bartz: Music Legacy in Motion.Born and raised in Baltimore, NEA Jazz Master Gary Bartz stands as a titan of modern jazz, dedicated to honoring and advancing Black American musical heritage. With a career spanning over six decades, Bartzs masterful approach to the alto saxophone and his concept of informal composition have redefined the boundaries of jazz improvisation.Bartz first rose to prominence in the 1960s, performing alongside legendary figures like Max Roach, Charles Mingus, Art Blakey, and Miles Davis. His work with Davis included the iconic Live-Evil sessions, marking him as a dynamic force in the jazz fusion movement. As a bandleader, Bartz has released over 45 albums, including the groundbreaking Harlem Bush Music, blending Afrocentric themes with avant-garde expression.In 2025, Bartz will unveil his first solo recordings since 2011a highly anticipated dual project produced by Grammy-winning producer OmMas Keith (Frank Ocean, John Legend). These works, slated for announcement early in the year, reaffirm Bartzs position at the vanguard of jazz innovation.An artist unafraid to evolve, Bartz continues to shape jazzs future. Recent collaborations with Ali Shaheed Muhammad and Adrian Younge for their acclaimed Jazz Is Dead series and performances with the jazz-funk collective Maisha have introduced his artistry to new audiences worldwide.Bartzs contributions to jazz have earned numerous accolades, including two Grammy Awards and the BNY Mellon Jazz Living Legacy Award. As he embarks on his latest tour, audiences can expect a blend of timeless compositions, bold improvisations, and glimpses into his exciting new projects. Whether youre a lifelong jazz devotee or new to the genre, experiencing Gary Bartz live is a masterclass in the transformative power of music
