Corcoran Holt Quintet: Freedom of Art Album Release
About This Event
Bassist, composer, arranger and educator Corcoran Holt, a son of Washington, D.C., leads his quintet at Dizzy's Club for the album release of Freedom of Art. Holt’s work with his own group and his appearances with the Kenny Garrett Quintet inform his approach; this engagement presents him primarily as bandleader and composer.
About Freedom of Art
At Dizzy’s Club, bassist Corcoran Holt brings *Freedom of Art* to the stage with the Corcoran Holt Quintet, centering music drawn from his work as a bandleader. Holt, also heard with the Kenny Garrett Quintet, shapes the set from the bass, foregrounding written material and the way individual lines lock into group motion. In a city where jazz history is often told through horn front lines, this puts the rhythm section’s authorship in plain view, a useful corrective. No specific NYC premiere history has been documented for this program.
