Thursday Scholarship Series: Birth of the Cool

The Hugh Hodgson School of Music brings out the greats as our faculty performers kick off the 2024-25 concert season with The Birth of the Cool:

A collection of pieces written by Gil Evans, Gerry Mulligan, Miles Davis and John Lewis from 1948-50, that was expanding past the “Be-Bop” hard driving small group Jazz music of the time. This encore performance features nine of the UGA performance faculty including senior lecturer in Jazz David D’Angelo and assistant professors of jazz piano and African American studies Greg Satterthwaite and James Weidman.
