Name

Celebrating Cedar Walton with Willie Jones III and Friends

Description

On what would have been Cedar Walton’s 91st birthday, we pay tribute to the prolific composer and hard bop pianist whose works have left an indelible mark on jazz. Timeless pieces like “Bolivia” and “Firm Roots” will come to life through an all-star ensemble of artists who shared the stage with Walton. Led by drummer Willie Jones III, a longtime collaborator and mentee of Walton, this group includes Steve Turre, Ralph Moore, Vincent Herring, and David Williams. Joining them is Juilliard’s rising talent, pianist Tyler Bullock, in a dynamic celebration of Walton’s lasting legacy.
