Celebrating a pianist’s great legacy

On May 30, five of the most gifted jazz artists come together to honor pianist Geri Allen, whose passing in 2017 left a void along the jazz landscape. Spearheaded by Grammy-winning drummer Terri Lyne Carrington, who frequently performed with the master composer and scholar for more than 30 years, this star-studded collective pulls from Allen’s great reach across the jazz community: famed saxophonist Ravi Coltrane; pianist Craig Taborn, who made his Spoleto Festival USA debut in 2018; bassist Robert Hurst; and tap dancer Maurice Chestnut. Join Allen’s close friends, collaborators, and mentees as they celebrate her life and carry on her indelible legacy.
