PianoLove: Jazzschool Faculty All-Stars play Herbie Hancock’s Speak Like a Child
Feat. Colin Hogan, Erik Jekabson, Chloe Scott Jones, Remee Ashley, Daniel Parenti, Sheldon Alexander + opening set by the Jazzschool Advanced High School Workshop
Jazzschool instructor and first-call Bay Area keyboardist Colin Hogan assembles an all-star faculty ensemble to play Herbie Hancock’s seminal record, Speak Like a Child in celebration of our monthlong PianoLove festival. Released on the Blue Note label in 1968, the record features luscious orchestrations by Thad Jones for the unusual ensemble of flute, flugelhorn, bass trombone, and rhythm section. A followup to his acclaimed Maiden Voyage release, Hancock’s compositions on Speak Like a Child explore lyrical melodies, deep swing, and rock-infused propulsiveness.
