This series builds on Yoko Suzuki’s ongoing projects to showcase the music of influential female jazz composers and leaders. These women are rarely heard live in Pittsburgh because of the intricacy of their work or their unique approach to jazz music, but Yoko welcomes these intricacies as a challenge, and a way to expand her creative vehicle. Commemorating the tenth year since the passing of Marian McPartland, this concert will feature the arrangements of her original compositions and the songs she frequently played. This concert is funded by the Heinz Endowments Small Arts Initiative grant.
