From bebop to swing to free jazz, the National Jazz Museum in Harlem kicks off yet another stirring week of discussion and live performances with a master exposition by Kenny Washington on the art and originality of the late, great Max Roach (Tuesday). While the weather remains seasonable, hear the Jazz Museum in Harlem All-Stars at their very first Jazz in the Parks concert at Marcus Garvey Park (Wednesday). And Grachan Moncur III's elliptical trombone force will lead a quartet in a rare New York appearance at the Rubin Museum of Art (Friday). Excepting the latter, each event is free!

JAZZ for CURIOUS LISTENERS with Kenny Washington
Remembering Max Roach Pt. 1
7:00 pm | At the Harlem School of the Arts
Like Christian McBride (who led an insightful discussion on Fusion last week), drummer, historian and collector of jazz Kenny Washington is a top jazz musician of his generation. Few are better qualified to discuss the legacy of the late Max Roach, one of the finest and most innovative percussionists of the 20th century. This will be Part I of a consecutive, two-part exploration of musical genius.
Washington has played and recorded with a virtual who's who of an older generation (Lee Konitz, Betty Carter, Benny Carter, Johnny Griffin, Phil Woods, to name a few) as well as his own: Bill Charlap, Peter Washington, Kenny Kirkland, and dozens of others. Known from his days on WBGO as the “Jazz Maniac," Kenny Washington is one of the most articulate and spirited exponents of the art of jazz. Not only will he discuss Roach's legacy and play recordings from his vast collection; Washington will demonstrate on drums what made Max Roach such an innovator and master musician.
The location is significant too: Max Roach supported the Harlem School of the Arts' mission and vision for decades.
