Celebrating the 50th anniversary of THE BLACKBYRDS' Billboard Hot 100 & Hot Soul Singles chart topper “Rock Creek Park!”

THE BLACKBYRDS was formed in 1973 as part of the legendary jazz trumpeter Dr. Donald Byrd’s brainchild to expose college students to the real world of music. In his own words to “bridge the gap between academia and the real world.” Byrd envisioned taking active students at Howard University in Washington, DC on a real world field trip which would expose them to ins and outs of the music business. The Blackbyrds went on to create an everlasting musical style that combined Classical, Jazz, Funk, R&B, and Gospel which introduced musical terms such as "crossover", "urban contemporary" and "easy-listening" to the music dictionary.

Keystone Kards will not be accepted for this show.

Music and spirituality have always been intertwined in the artistic vision of trumpeter, bandleader, composer, educator, and activist Sean Jones. He has performed at and/or with Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, Wynton Marsalis ensemble, SFJAZZ Collective, Jimmy Heath, Frank Foster, Nancy Wilson, Dianne Reeves, Gerald Wilson, and Marcus Miller. He is president of the Jazz Education Network and holds the Richard and Elizabeth Case Chair in Jazz Studies at The John Hopkins University’s Peabody Institute in Baltimore. As well as artistic Director for the NYO JAZZ Program of Carnegie Hall.

Forging a deeply personal sound from a broad swath of the jazz landscape, internationally acclaimed saxophonist, educator, composer, arranger and Baltimore native TIM GREEN has emerged as a powerful voice, melding deftly swinging hard bop, fluid modernity and soulful gospel. Green returned to his native Baltimore, where he is a key component of the city’s burgeoning jazz, and music education community.
