The\u00a0Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events\u00a0<\/strong>(DCASE) is pleased to announce the 38th Annual Chicago Jazz Festival. The Labor Day Weekend tradition will take place in Millennium Park and at the Chicago Cultural Center (78 E. Washington Street) September 1-4, showcasing the greatest jazz artists from Chicago and around the world. The\u00a0FREE<\/u>\u00a0admission Chicago Jazz Festival is produced by DCASE and programmed by the\u00a0Jazz Institute of Chicago<\/strong>\u00a0(JIC).<\/p>\n

The Chicago Jazz Festival has always taken pride in celebrating the full spectrum of jazz with a special emphasis on the city\u2019s unique place in the music\u2019s artistic development. This year\u2019s programming takes a special look at that history while celebrating the artists, events and moments that continue to shape jazz today.<\/p>\n

The range of headlining artists at the 2016 festival runs the gamut from jazz legends celebrating momentous occasions to commemorations of key contributions by lost giants, from influential modern masters to crucial new voices in the music\u2019s continuing evolution. The roster includes revered saxophonist\/composer\u00a0Benny Golson,<\/strong>saxophonist\/clarinetist\u00a0Anat Cohen\u00a0<\/strong>the John Scofield\/Joe Lovano Quartet\u00a0<\/strong>and a 95th birthday celebration for legendary percussionist\u00a0Candido Camero<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In addition to these still-thriving greats, this year\u2019s festival will look back at some of the legends that the jazz world has lost in recent years. Irreverent trio\u00a0The Bad Plus<\/strong>\u00a0will perform the music of\u00a0Ornette Coleman\u2019s<\/strong>\u00a01971 album\u00a0SCIENCE FICTION<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0with saxophonists\u00a0Tim Berne<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Sam Newsome<\/strong>\u00a0and trumpeter\u00a0Ron Miles<\/strong>. Composer\/arranger\u00a0Carla Bley<\/strong>\u00a0will lead the\u00a0Liberation Music Orchestra<\/strong>, the politically-charged ensemble founded by late bassist\u00a0Charlie Haden<\/strong>, with in-demand bassist\u00a0Scott Colley<\/strong>\u00a0filling Haden\u2019s shoes.\u00a0Rambling Boy<\/em>, the 2009 documentary on Haden, will also screen as part of the festival.<\/p>\n

The year 2016 marks the centennial of the Great Migration, the mass movement of more than 6 million African Americans from the rural South to the urban Midwest, Northeast and West that took place \u00a0beginning in 1916. Chicago was a key destination for that transformative relocation, with a momentous impact on the development of jazz as a vernacular music from New Orleans and transformed into an industry in Chicago.<\/p>\n

That history will be marked in several ways throughout this year\u2019s festival, most notably in the premiere performance of\u00a0\u201cSoul Migration,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0a sweeping new piece by Chicago trumpeter, composer and bandleader\u00a0Orbert Davis<\/strong>\u00a0commissioned by the Chicago Jazz Festival that will headline opening night on\u00a0Thursday, September 1<\/strong>. Davis\u2019 piece will trace the route of the people and the music that made the trek northward with a suite that takes listeners on a moving journey of their own, with Davis leading an expanded quintet on a bold multi-part work that marries words and music, electric and acoustic sounds, North and South, present and past.<\/p>\n

Doreen\u2019s Jazz New Orleans<\/strong>, led by full-throated clarinetist\u00a0Doreen Kitchens<\/strong>, exemplifies the source of the musical river that wound its way north, while\u00a0Brian Carpenter\u2019s Ghost Train Orchestra\u00a0<\/strong>resurrects some of early jazz\u2019s seminal composers, including Chicago legend\u00a0Tiny Parham<\/strong>,\u00a0Fletcher Henderson<\/strong>,\u00a0Fess Williams<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Charlie Johnson<\/strong>. Among those who made the northward trek into jazz renown are legendary guitarist\u00a0Charlie Christian<\/strong>, who will be the subject of a tribute concert by Chicago axeman\u00a0John McLean<\/strong>\u00a0and his six-string-centric ensemble Guitar Madness; and living legend\u00a0Harold Mabern<\/strong>, who began life in Memphis in 1936, will celebrate his 80th birthday in his longtime home of Chicago with the quartet he co-leads with torch-bearing saxophonist\u00a0Eric Alexander<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Once Chicago was established as a key destination for the Great Migration, the city became home to generations of jazz giants, including tenor greats\u00a0Gene Ammons<\/strong>,\u00a0Johnny Griffin<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Eddie Harris<\/strong>. Saxophonist\u00a0Edwin Daugherty<\/strong>, who has played with the likes of Barry White and Roberta Flack, will pay tribute to all three with tenor titan\u00a0Ari Brown\u00a0<\/strong>and storied saxophonist (and bagpiper)\u00a0Artee “Duke” Payne<\/strong>\u00a0at his side. Another is the late singer, songwriter, poet and playwright\u00a0Oscar Brown, Jr.<\/strong>, a true renaissance man and an impassioned civil rights activist. With their project\u00a0Brown in Bronzeville Effect<\/strong>, daughters\u00a0Maggie & Africa Brown<\/strong>\u00a0will, like their old man, sing out in the name of freedom.
\nThis year\u2019s line-up will also feature a wide range of nationally recognized talent: trumpeter and New Orleans native\u00a0Christian Scott aTunde Adjuah<\/strong>; drummer\u00a0Barry Altschul,<\/strong>\u00a0a key figure in ’70s avant-garde jazz; Israeli-born saxophonist\/clarinetist\u00a0Anat Cohen<\/strong>; tenor saxophonist\u00a0JD Allen<\/strong>; and the raucous trio\u00a0Tarbaby<\/strong>, featuring drummer\u00a0Nasheet Waits<\/strong>, pianist\u00a0Orrin Evans<\/strong>\u00a0and bassist\u00a0Eric Revis<\/strong>, with special guest\u00a0Oliver Lake<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The festival will also provide the opportunity for audiences to appreciate a few of Chicago\u2019s under-sung living legends, including pianist\u00a0Erwin Helfer<\/strong>, who will mark his own 80th birthday with a solo performance at this year\u2019s festival; drummer\u00a0George Fludas<\/strong>, distinguished veteran of the local club scene; drummer\u00a0Greg Rockingham<\/strong>, founding member of the late, lamented Deep Blue Organ Trio; and veteran pianist\u00a0Norman Simmons<\/strong>, fondly remembered by fans of a certain age for his stints at the Beehive on 55th Street, where his trio backed the likes of Charlie Parker and Lester Young.<\/p>\n

Chicago\u2019s deep pool of respected straight-ahead talent will also be well represented at the festival: organist and pianist\u00a0Dan Trudell<\/strong>;\u00a0Eric Schneider\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0Pat Mallinger<\/strong>, co-leaders whose soul-bopping tenor saxophone riffs evoke the ultimate Chicago tenor pairing of\u00a0Gene Ammons<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Johnny Griffin<\/strong>; trumpeter\u00a0Pharez Whitted<\/strong>, who has performed with the Chicago Jazz Ensemble and directed jazz studies at Chicago State University; and\u00a0Brian OHern and the Model Citizens<\/strong>, who celebrated their twentieth anniversary as one of the city’s feistiest club attractions this year.<\/p>\n

The city\u2019s adventurous reputation is spotlighted as well: tenor saxophonist\u00a0Nate Lepine<\/strong>\u00a0has<\/p>\n

been a member of three of Chicago’s most creative, forward-looking bands \u2013 the NRG Ensemble, Herculaneum and Poi Dog Pondering;\u00a0Magic Carpet<\/strong>, the groove-based, improvisational electric band that describes itself as \u201cAfroMiddleEasternJazzFusion;\u201d the\u00a0MIYUMI Project<\/strong>, led by\u00a0Tatsu Aoki<\/strong>, founder of the Chicago Asian American Jazz Festival; violinist\u00a0James Sanders\u2019 improvisational Proyecto Libre<\/strong>; drummer\u00a0Michael Zerang & The Blue Lights<\/strong>;\u00a0Cameron Pfiffner\u2019s Adolphe\u2019s Ax<\/strong>, named in honor of the inventor of the saxophone and incorporating Gregorian chants and French Renaissance music; and AACM member\u00a0Mwata Bowden’s\u00a0<\/strong>One Step In, One Out<\/em>\u2026<\/p>\n

The Chicago Jazz Festival is also committed to shining the spotlight on emerging local musicians. This year, that includes vocalist\u00a0Alyssa Allgood<\/strong>, 2014 winner of the DownBeat Award for Best Collegiate Vocal Jazz Soloist; trumpeter\/flugelhornist\u00a0Steve Schneck<\/strong>; saxophonist and Evanston native\u00a0Chris Greene<\/strong>; the\u00a0Victor Garcia Organ Septet<\/strong>; drummer\u00a0Charles Rumback<\/strong>; trombonist\u00a0Kendall Moore<\/strong>; and Polish native\u00a0Luke Malewicz\u2019 Heritage Quartet<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
