MINARET WINTER JAZZ FESTIVAL NIGHT 5
Purple Gums
(Bobby Bradford, Francis Wong, William Roper)
Miguel Atwood-Ferguson & Jesse Gilbert
Night 5 of Minaret Winter Jazz festival lands at Scribble in Highland Park for an evening of free improvisation & multi-media performance. The program opens with violinist + composer Miguel Atwood-Ferguson joined by visual artist Jesse Gilbert, who will map live video projection & looping imagery.
The evening continues with a special performance from Purple Gums, a collaborative trio uniting 92 year old trumpeter Bobby Bradford, saxophonist Francis Wong & tubaist William Roper. Drawing on free improvisation, spoken word, & the traditions of New Orleans brass bands, the trio describes its music as something played for “death, life, joy & inspiration.” They’ve even been known to stand up & march.
