Looking Ahead at the Earshot Jazz Spring Series

As time goes by, the expanding universe of jazz sometimes seems to be going in all directions at all times – forward and back, inside and out, up and down. This fascinating multiplicity of approaches to the music has invigorated the art form like never before, and also challenged capacities to support and, at times, even to clearly define what jazz is. That’s why I love to think about jazz in relation to the String Theory developing in physics. We live in a universe (or universes) where all things are interconnected, across multiple dimensions, by the vibrations of jazz fibers at their very core.

The Earshot Jazz organization is in its 27th year in this fascinating continuum, focusing on services to our own jazz community and on the presentation of one-of-a-kind events that celebrate an absolutely vibrant art form.

This year’s Earshot Jazz Spring Series (or String Theories) brings you concerts that tap into the core traditions and the expansion of jazz music. We invite you to join us for some truly distinctive concerts, and let’s have some fun with this music!
