World Premiere! Renowned trumpeter and arranger Steven Bernstein collaborates with local, award-winning Gunn High School Jazz Band on a new composition for jazz orchestra, an unprecedented commission by Montalvo Arts Center. Bernstein, called “one of the hardest working men in show business and the ultimate Downtown jazz personality” (All About Jazz), works directly with Gunn musicians, leading workshops and rehearsing with the band in anticipation of the premiere of the piece at Montalvo’s Garden Theater in June 2008. Also on the bill: jazz great Jason Moran, who began his music career in high school and was signed to Blue Note Records at the tender age of 22. Monk at Town Hall celebrates the legacy of Jazz great Thelonious Monk, commemorating the 90th anniversary of the legendary pianist-composer’s birth. Perhaps the foremost stylistic heir to Monk, Moran has earned his own reputation for being “the most provocative thinker in current jazz” (Rolling Stone) over the course of seven albums for Blue Note.
