Drummer and bandleader Kelby MacNayr assembles five of the West Coast's finest improvisers to breathe life into the classic jazz sounds of the 1950s and ’60s Blue Note era.
With the goal of bringing back to the bandstand the toe-tapping, swinging, story-telling traditions of Blue Note Records artists, this band sizzles—celebrating the work of Cannonball Adderley, Art Blakey, Horace Silver, Duke Pearson, and more!
This concert not only honours the compositional genius and aesthetic of the era but celebrates the true spirit and essence of jazz—authentic creative expression, innovation, and collective experience. Expect a rich performance filled with musical stories, energy, and character. See the list of all featured artists!
