Living legend. No doubt about it.
On Saturday, 08 November, legendary saxophonist Gary Bartz takes the stage at LantarenVenster Rotterdam for a performance that dives deep into the jazz tradition while effortlessly connecting with the sound of today.
For over fifty years, Gary Bartz has been a driving creative force in the American jazz scene. Saxophonist, composer, storyteller — he has shared the stage with heavyweights like Miles Davis, Art Blakey, and McCoy Tyner, yet has always carved out his own path.
His roots are deeply grounded in bebop — think Charlie Parker and Jackie McLean — but Bartz never confined himself to a single style. In the 1970s, he changed course with Ntu Troop, blending African rhythms, bop, free jazz, and rock into a powerful fusion. The result: albums like I’ve Known Rivers and Other Bodies, a spiritual jazz classic that still sounds just as raw and relevant today.
His playing? Free. Untamed. Always evolving. Bartz flows effortlessly from avant-garde to funk, from swing to gospel, weaving it all into a musical language that transcends generations.
No nostalgia. No retro. Just living jazz.
As Wayne Shorter once put it: “He’s our Beethoven.”
For fans of Pharoah Sanders, Kamasi Washington, Shabaka Hutchings, or even Flying Lotus, this is a rare opportunity to hear the source. Expect deep grooves, spiritual depth, and playing that’s all about freedom and flow.
Please note: this concert is fully seated.
