1PM PIANO SUMMIT: KIRK NUROCK, LYNNE ARRIALE, SULLIVAN FORTNER

A treat for jazz piano devotees, three world-class musicians take to the keys in one afternoon of jazz piano immersion.

3PM FREE FILM SCREENING: THE MODERN JAZZ QUARTET: FROM RESIDENCY TO LEGACY (2018, 65 MINUTES)

Formed in 1952, The Modern Jazz Quartet pushed the boundaries of jazz and classical music at time when the genre, like the country itself, was in the throes of change. An epicenter of this evolution was The Music Inn, a musical oasis nestled in the Berkshire Mountains.  Featuring Percy Heath, John Lewis, Dave Brubeck, Gunther Schuller, Stephanie Barber and more, this fascinating collection of remembrances and anecdotes highlights The Modern Jazz Quartet’s role in developing The Music Inn’s iconic School of Jazz.

Filmmaker George Schuller will be in attendance for a post-screening Q&A with HJF curator, Armen Donelian, with whom he has recorded several CDs

7PM FEARLESS MASTERS: DAVID LIEBMAN, JAY ANDERSON, JAY CLAYTON, ARMEN DONELIAN

Four powerhouse players evening made for jazz lovers: NEA Jazz Master David Liebman, a saxophonist with the “ability to touch the soul with an extraordinary depth of emotion and dramatic range” (Downbeat Magazine); “the most adventurous singer in jazz” (The Village Voice) and pioneer of the free jazz movement, Jay Clayton; “flawless section bassist and a fleet full toned soloist” (Los Angeles Times) Jay Anderson, and renowned pianist, 2002 Fulbright Scholar, author and HJF curator, Armen Donelian
