Joel Ross is one of jazz’s brightest new stars, an immensely talented vibraphonist and composer who is totally prepared to bring jazz into its next stage around the world. Ross performed at Duck Creek last year with a quartet; this year he’s bringing a his rarely heard large ensemble, Parables, to our barn, where he’ll be performing new compositions as a warm-up to recording the octet in the fall. The band includes Kalia Vandever, who is joining us twice this summer, as a composer, a bandleader, and an educator, along with saxophonist Immanuel Wilkins, another rising star in jazz; Craig Weinrib, on drums was at Duck Creek last summer. Ross has organized a two-part music series for us this summer including saxophonist, Maria Grand, who will play with his octet on the 26th, and her own trio on June 27. This program is made possible with funds from the Decentralization Program, a regrant program of the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew M. Cuomo and the New York State Legislature, and administered by The Huntington Arts Council. (Recording Engineer: Delaney Hafener, Post Production: Rafael Alvarez, Video Director - Jerome Sabbagh)
