West Coast
Jazz albums tell the story of California Cool. This evolving music
is going through its third big wave and that's music to Ryan Gosling's
(Seb's) ear who played the role of a jazz musician in the film LA
LA Land.
We will discuss
Award-winning recordings made by musicians who are defining the
new sounds coming out of culturally-diverse California today and
how the music is woven into the fabric of what you hear on film/TV.
According to
author of West Coast Jazz, Ted
Gioia, "Exciting younger artists with grand ambitions are
revitalizing the idiom; a robust support structure, from festivals
to conservatories, is providing stability and a future-oriented
confidence." The third great wave of West
Coast jazz is here!
Kendrick Lamar, Jonathan Pinson (Kamasi Washington), bassist Thundercat,
Christian Euman (Jacob Collier), Kris Bowers (Green Book), to name
a few.
Join us for an inspiring afternoon at NAMM and recharge for 2020!
