Join us for Savoy In Color's first event of 2015 and experience lush jazz, sonorous blendings of melodic horns and swinging rhythms.
This troupe of top NYC musicians, headed by composer-arranger Ben Cockerham, create some new spirited sounds. Their live performances are something else! Originals written by Cockerham for the group are interspersed with jazz classics, laced with stylings inspired by the incredible Gil Evans-Miles Davis collaborations of the 1950s & '60s. …with a horn section featured on Ghostface Killah's just-released album 36 Seasons!
Savoy In Color hits the highs, both solo and in ensemble. . . In these moments, The World You're In Is Perfect.
SAVOY IN COLOR is:
Ben Cockerham (Piano) Britton Matthews (Vibes), Joe Ancowitz (Lead trumpet, Flügelhorn), Geoff Countryman (Alto Sax), Gary Pickard (Baritone Sax), Damian Peters (Bass), Dave Previ (Drums)
