Indiana Jazz Legacy Project

In a storytelling session that will open the event, master jazz musicians from Indiana will share their memories about the golden era of the State’s rich jazz legacy. Participants will include trombonist/arranger Slide Hampton, bassist Larry Ridley, and trumpeter Pharez Whitted, along with other fine musicians from the present-day Indy jazz scene. The event will conclude with a jam session that will feature the honored Jazz Masters along with students from the Indiana High School All-State Jazz combo. Come join in this celebration of Indiana’s jazz legacy— past, present and future!
