A 90th Birthday Tribute to Harold Mabern: Jazz Musician in New York

About A 90th Birthday Tribute to Harold Mabern

A 90th Birthday Tribute to Harold Mabern is a performance project that honors the late pianist and bandleader through live repertoire and onstage collaboration. In New York City, the tribute is presented at Smoke Jazz & Supper Club, a room closely identified with modern straight-ahead jazz. The program brings together artists from Mabern’s wider circle and adjacent scenes, including Eric Alexander and Cyrus Chestnut, with ties to ensembles such as the Bill Charlap Trio and the Miguel Zenón Quartet. The approach favors hard swing and songcraft over theatrical framing.
