About This Event
Herlin Riley brings his ensemble to Dizzy's Club under the project title Thanksgiving, which places the drummer's group at the center of the music. The project's name nods to Vince Guaraldi's 1973 "Thanksgiving Theme"; in performance the material functions as recognizable motifs rather than a fixed score, favoring clarity, rhythmic conversation and small shifts in color, an approach consistent with Riley's regular work at Jazz at Lincoln Center and collaborations with Kes, Etienne Charles and Eddie Palmieri.
