Jazz for a Hopeful Future: Charlie Parker and Thelonious Monk
April 12

Both the United Nations and bebop were platforms that spoke of freedom of ideas, human rights, and hope. The Arpeggio Jazz Ensemble presents a collection of popular jazz tunes performed or composed in 1946, including commentary on their relevance to the first sessions of the United Nation in 1946 London. Featured songs will include bebop pioneer Charlie “Bird” Parker’s compositions “Now’s the Time,” and “Anthropology,” as well as “Epistrophy” by Thelonious Monk.

Featuring a host of fresh new compositions and familiar arrangements by Tidd and Tirpak, this line up reads like a who’s-who of Philly Jazz, drawing upon the great talents of Eric Wortham, Kevin Hanson, Leon Jordan, Korey Riker, Matt Cappy, Josh Lawrence and many more.
