Bringing together an unmatched caliber of musical authority and historical lineage, this performance features five of the premier masters of modern jazz: pianist Steve Allee, bassist Jim Anderson, saxophonists Billy Pierce and Craig Bailey, and drummer Lewis Nash. Across over five decades of groundbreaking performance and education, these iconic artists have helped define the trajectory of hard bop, big band swing, and contemporary mainstream jazz. Collectively, their resume spans landmark tenures with legendary bandleaders—including Art Blakey, Tony Williams, Ray Charles, and Buddy Rich—alongside thousands of recordings and decades of dedication to world-class academia at institutions like Berklee, Juilliard, and the University of Cincinnati CCM. Coming together on one stage, these visionary masters deliver an extraordinary evening of virtuoso improvisation, deep swing, and living jazz history.
