Description

This Explorer Session honors jazz musicians who shaped the genre sustainably but passed away far too early—including Clifford Brown, Billie Holiday, Charlie Parker, and Eric Dolphy. Instead of focusing on tragedy or legend-building, their musical legacy takes center stage: How do their compositions, improvisations, and innovations continue to influence jazz today?

Performed live by a Salzburg jazz ensemble, the session explores the legacy of these artists and especially invites trumpeters to spontaneously join in—a tribute to the many trumpeters among them. Following this, an open jam session provides a space for all musicians to engage musically with the theme.
