MUSE JAZZ COLLECTIVE CONCERT - A TRIBUTE TO ART BLAKEY

Moanin’: A Tribute to Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers

Few bands have shaped the sound of modern jazz like Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers. Blakey and his ever-evolving lineup of rising stars defined the sound of hard bop and launched the careers of countless Jazz legends. This tribute concert celebrates Blakey’s legacy as a drummer, bandleader, and mentor, bringing to life the spirit of the Jazz Messengers’ most iconic eras.
