In the most significant project in its 18 years of bringing jazz to the region, Berkshires Jazz, Inc. has commissioned ten original compositions from jazz artists in the northeast. The new works make their world premieres on Feb. 25, in concert at the Berkshire Museum (7:30pm), in conjunction with Pittsfield’s annual 10x10 Upstreet Winter Arts Festival.
An all-star trio of Eugene Uman, piano; Mary Ann McSweeney, bass; and Conor Meehan, drums will perform the new works, joined by the composers and one or more of the composing cohort. The concert will be hosted by Tom Reney, the dean of New England jazz radio (WFCR/Northeast Public Media)....
