For music lovers of all genres, the recent passing of the great songwriter Burt Bacharach marked the end of an era. Few composers reached as broad an audience, but Bacharach’s catchy and singable tunes coupled with Hal David’s storytelling dominated pop music culture the world over. At the mere mention of nearly any Bacharach tune, the music starts playing in your head.
Bacharach’s music offered much more than an emotional connection: The melodic, harmonic, and rhythmic sophistication of the music has always attracted jazz musicians. A Bacharach tune offers a lot of inspiration! Concert curator and drumming superstar Akira Tana along with beloved vocalist Jackie Ryan team up with a soulful jazz organ trio from Osaka to bring the timeless melodies of Burt Bacharach and the lyrics of Hal David to life....
