Luckman Fine Arts Complex, Cal State LA (Los Angeles, CA)
The Luckman Jazz Orchestra joins jazz and blues icon Barabara Morrison in a tribute to the legendary trumpeter and jazz vocalist Kenny Dorham. Universally admired and respected by his peers, Dorham worked with every major figure of the modern jazz movement and was the composer of “Blue Bossa,” a blend of hard bop and bossa nova that has become a jazz standard. Although highly respected by his peers and critics, Dorham never received the amount of public recognition that others of his caliber received, leading jazz critic Gary Giddins to remark that his name is “virtually synonymous with underrated.” Barbara Morrison, internationally revered as an incomparable vocalist, is best known for her collaborations with Buddy Guy, Santana, and Ray Charles. Under the direction of Charles Owens, the LJO is hailed by the LA Times as “one of the country’s finest musical organizations.”
