The collective trio AIR (Henry Threadgill/Fred Hopkins/Steve McCall) galvanized us with a bold voice in the searing music-art revolution coming from the AACM and Black Artist Group (BAG) collectives in the Midwest, on out into the world.

In 2024, Pulitzer Prize Composer and Multi-Instrumentalist Henry Threadgill asked his long-time colleagues Pheeroan akLaff and Marty Ehrlich to engage with his celebrated compositions for AIR.. Enlisting dynamic bassist Hillard Greene, the Air Legacy Trio gave its initial performance in 2024 to great acclaim at the Big Ears Festival in Knoxville Tennessee. Tonight the Air Legacy Trio fires up a program of cherished compositions across the repertoire of AIR.

Hailed by the New York Times as “perhaps the most important jazz composer of his generation,” Henry Threadgill has been celebrated for over forty years as one of the most original, forward-thinking composers and multi-instrumentalists in American music. His four-movement work, In for a Penny, In for a Pound, received the Pulitzer Prize for Music in 2016. Learn more at https://www.henrythreadgill.com/
