 | Wednesday, July 21st at 8pm: The Jazz Record Art Collective is proud to present a livestream and in-person performance featuring the Joan Hickey Quintet performing Bill Evan's "Interplay", released in 1963. The night will also feature live art by Arthur Wright! ALBUM BACKGROUND: "Interplay stands as some of Bill Evans' most enigmatic and unusual music in makeup as well as execution. It was recorded in July 1962 with a very young Freddie Hubbard from the Jazz Messengers, guitarist Jim Hall, bassist Percy Heath, and drummer Philly Joe Jones performing five veteran standards. Evans has a more blues-based approach to playing: harder, edgier, and in full flow, fueled in no small part by Hall, who is at his very best here, swinging hard whether it be a ballad or an uptempo number. Hubbard's playing, on the other hand, was never so restrained as it was here. Using a mute most of the time, his lyricism is revealed to jazz listeners for the first time -- with Art Blakey it was a blistering attack of hard bop aggression." - Thom Jurek PERFORMANCES BY: Joan Hickey - Piano Tito Carrillo - Trumpet Mike Allemana - Guitar John Tate - Bass Joel Spencer - Drums LIVESTREAM ACCESS: https://youtu.be/IwOR-Q40RyA IN-PERSON ATTENDANCE: In-person attendance will be limited capacity.
