A night of “cool jazz” in tribute to one of the greats of the West Coast scene of the 1950s - Shelly Manne. An extraordinary and unique artist who has left an immense legacy of collaborations and recordings.
This project celebrates his Quintet and their particular contribution to the Manne canon, inspired by a clutch of golden performances, captured live at the Blackhawk Jazz club in San Francisco between September 22-24,1959.
Tonight’s band have been hand-picked for the way they connect with and are inspired by their corresponding original artists. They do though aim to express their own originality and collective inspiration with the Manne Blackhawk quintet as their DNA framework.
