Overtures to Africa explores Africa's influence on some of jazz's greatest legends: Charles Mingus, Thelonious Monk, Dizzy Gillespie, and Max Roach. Part of the Journey Through Jazz concert series, this performance brings the JLCO and music director, drummer Domo Branch, to the intimate Appel Room, delving into the profound impact of African culture on jazz. Part of the Lynne and Richard Pasculano Jazz Series, this is a pay-what-you-choose performance and not part of subscriptions.
