New York, NY (February 15, 2007) Jazz at Lincoln Center is proud to present the incomparable Bill Charlap Trio joined by some very special guests to present THE BIRTH OF COOL on March 30 & 31, 2007 in The Allen Room at 7:30pm and 9:30pm in Frederick P. Rose Hall, home to Jazz at Lincoln Center. Tickets are $60 and are available at the Jazz at Lincoln Center box office on Broadway at 60th Street, by calling CenterCharge at (212) 721-6500 or via www.jalc.org.

Bill Charlap (piano) and his trio consisting of Peter Washington (bass) and Kenny Washington (drums) will anchor an ensemble that includes Frank Wess (tenor), Warren Vach (trumpet), Mark Turner (sax), Jerry Dodgion (sax) and Mary Stallings. Additional musicians include: Jon Gordon (sax), Scott Robinson (baritone sax), Joe Magnarelli (trumpet), and Gene Bertoncini (guitar). Highlights include Ms. Stalling's interpretation of the Billie Holiday standards “Pennies From Heaven" and “Laughing at Life."

“The concert will be essentially a history of cool from Lester Young through Miles Davis," explains Bill Charlap. “We're going through Lester, how the music met the bop esthetic, the innovations of Bird and Dizzy. We'll be playing some of the 'Birth of the Cool' album, not recreations, but our own interpretation of 'Cool School' arrangers like Gerry Mulligan and Johnny Carisi."
