What happens when every note is a question, and every answer sparks a new possibility? That’s the magic of improvisation – and the heart of this concert. Inspired by James Baldwin’s words, “The questions which one asks oneself begin, at last, to illuminate the world,” Longy’s Jazz & Contemporary Music faculty and alumni invite you into an evening where curiosity leads the way.
Starting with bold, intimate solos, the night grows, duos, trios, quartets, each new collaboration opening doors to “the experience of others.” It’s music that dares to wonder out loud, where every choice on stage is both personal and universal. Come ready to listen, question, and be lit up by the brilliance of Longy’s JCM community.
