The Influences and Evolution of American Classic Jazz and Its Effects on Popular Music
Brian Holland (piano) world renowned, Grammy-nominated recording artist
Danny Coots (drums) world renowned, Grammy-winning recording artist

This concert/lecture by Brian Holland and Danny Coots will demonstrate and explain the influences of early American music and culture on classic jazz styles and in turn show those ragtime and jazz influences on American popular music up to the present. This program not only describes how each period style is influenced and evolves into the next: Holland and Coots will also demonstrate the nuances and subtleties of these transitions. Holland and Coots are considered two of the foremost performers who specialize in improvisation within these styles. If you attended their performance in April at the Suburban Club, they will pick up where they left off and further develop this conversation with an all new program of music from the 1850's to the present. They have some special surprises in store since it's so close to the holidays!
