Age Suitability: None Specified
Tags: music, blues, concert

For this NJPAC exclusive, Grammy-winning saxophonist and composer Branford Marsalis leads his longtime group - pianist Joey Calderazzo, bassist Eric Revis, and drummer Justin Faulkner - in music from their recent Metamorphosen, a CD loaded with scintillating original compositions by each member of the quartet. In recent years, Grammy winner Maria Schneider has risen to become the most acclaimed big-band jazz composer of her generation, mentioned in the same breath as greats like Duke Ellington and Gil Evans. The Los Angeles Times credits Schneider's evocative work for taking "the first truly novel approach to big jazz band composition of the new century."
Prior to the performance, ticket-holders are invited to join us for a free Prelude in the Prudential Hall lobby, featuring live music courtesy of the HarpAntics with harpist Odarka Polanskyj Stockert, and a Made by Hand arts and crafts exhibit and sale featuring work by Thomasina Hyland (sleeved kaftans), Lou Frederick (beaded jewelry), Glen Guarino (furniture), and Zachary Bloom (gemstone jewelry).
