Hometown Heroes: Harlem’s Own Bertha Hope Quintet
Description

A beacon for generations of musicians and an inaugural recipient of the Jazz Legacies Fellowship from the Jazz Foundation of America and the Mellon Foundation, Hope continues to champion the music of her late husband, Elmo Hope, a pivotal figure of the bebop era whose close relationships with Thelonious Monk and Bud Powell shaped the modern jazz piano sound.
