Zachary Bartholomew & James Suggs: The Music of Horace Silver

The Blue Note Sound: Horace-Scope, featuring Zachary Bartholomew & James Suggs

Horace Silver’s ensembles, compositions, and piano playing defined one of the most musically-rich periods of jazz: Hard Bop. Silver’s music takes the fiery virtuosity of bebop, the soulful feeling of the blues, and combines it with sophisticated (and catchy) arrangements and compositions.

This concert celebrates the music of Silver’s benchmark album Horace-Scope with an all-star band assembled by award-winning pianist Dr. Zachary Bartholomew who will be playing the role of Horace Silver in this energetic, swinging, and blues-tinged show! To top things off, trumpet virtuoso James Suggs will be featured in the band to fill the role of trumpet legend Blue Mitchell.

Band: Zachary Bartholomew; piano; James Suggs, trumpet; David Ferndandez, saxophone; Alejandro Arenas, bass; Brandon Lee Lewis, drums.
