Enjoy the sounds of today’s jazz luminaries where it all begain in Harlem!
On Friday, May 16, 2025 at 7pm EST, Harlem Jazz Series presents In4Mation, a quartet dedicated to improvisation and compositions that encourage exploration of groove and ensemble interplay. The music evolves from original scores and charts through the musicians' personal interpretation and the merging of the quartet's distinct voices. The band features Jane Getter (guitar—Saturday Night Live Band, Brother Jack McDuff), Gene Pritsker (guitar—Matrix Resurrections, Joe Zawinul), Harvie S (bass—Mike Stern, Sheila Jordan, Michael Brecker, Kenny Barron) and Gerry Brown (drums—Stevie Wonder, Stanley Clarke, Diana Ross, Return to Forever).
Featured compositions include Pritsker's “Were You Not Imaginary," Getter's “Tetra," and “The 13th" by Harvie S.
Special guest Robert C. Ford, aka The Wall Street Poet, will recite his schizophrenic-themed poem “The Piano Keeps Drinking My Wine."
Harlem Jazz Series is curated by legendary trombonist Craig Harris (Judas and the Black Messiah, Sun Ra Arkestra) and this event is co-hosted by Composers Concordance, an eclectic concert series, ensemble, record label, and presenting organization with a 40-year history of premiering music that pushes the boundaries of sound and composition.
The concert will take place at the historic Mount Morris Ascension Presbyterian Church in Harlem.
