In 2001, Herbie
Hancock, Michael Brecker and Roy Hargrove
stepped onto a stage in Toronto to perform in tribute
to Miles Davis and John Coltrane. This historic collaboration
led to a sold-out tour, while the live recording of that
Toronto concert won a 2003 Grammy Award for Best Instrumental
Jazz Album. The group's first reunion, "Directions in
Music: Our Times," explores the themes of contemporary
composers who have influenced the progression of jazz
after Davis and Coltrane. This show takes its cues from
the work of Wayne Shorter, Chick Corea, Jaco Pastorius,
Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles and others. Hancock, Brecker
and Hargrove make their only Oregon appearance —
and the first stop on this tour — at the Hult Center
this week. See Thursday, Feb. 3 Calendar.
