LJO: TRIBUTE TO J.J. JOHNSON

The LJO will perform its homage to J.J. Johnson, one of the leading jazz musicians of the post-swing era. Regarded as one of the first trombonists to embrace bebop music, J.J. Johnson was a key player and innovator in this definitive style. Collaborating with jazz greats including Dizzy and Miles, Johnson blazed a path for himself in the bebop movement doing for the trombone what Charlie Parker did for the saxophone.

LJO: TRIBUTE TO CHARLIE PARKER

Miles Davis summarized the history of jazz with two names: “Louis Armstrong and Charlie Parker.” Charlie Parker is widely praised as one of the most important and influential saxophonists with an uncompromising artistic direction. Parker gained wide recognition for his brilliant solos and innovative improvisations that propelled him to iconic status for the Beat Generation. The Luckman Jazz Orchestra pays tribute to this iconic jazz master.
