HUDSON: Jack DeJohnette, John Scofield, John Medeski, & Larry Grenadier at The Appel Room

Legendary drummer and NEA Jazz Master Jack DeJohnette has assembled an incredible quartet to celebrate his 75th birthday. DeJohnette will be joined by guitarist John Scofield, keyboardist John Medeski, and bassist Larry Grenadier, each of them a distinctive and famously adaptive improviser. This unrecorded all-star group has performed only once before – to great acclaim at the 2014 Woodstock Jazz Festival – and they now reunite as a unit called "Hudson." Anchored by DeJohnette's "propulsive, percussion mastery," (NPR) the group's repertoire includes fast-swinging standards by Sonny Rollins and John Coltrane, as well as some of the more freewheeling originals for which these artists are well known. Each member performs the dual role of explosive long-form improviser and responsive rhythm player, constantly rewarding listeners with inventive solos supported by a trio of deeply engaged conversationalists. Don't miss the fireworks when these distinctive virtuosos share the Rose Theater stage....
