Performance

Jazz Music of the 1970’s

1 upcoming performance in New York

At Dizzy’s Club in New York City, this program traces the contours of 1970s jazz as it moved between post-bop, modal writing, and the era’s more open harmonic language. Featured performers include the Juilliard Jazz Ensembles alongside Don Pullen, Charles Tolliver, John Hicks, and Thad Jones, musicians linked to the city’s working-band ecology and its downtown-to-uptown crosscurrents. In NYC, this decade marked a shift from club-centered scenes to institution-backed presentation without fully losing the music’s street-level urgency. The result is a portrait of jazz negotiating change in real time.
