SUMMARY:Jazz Is Dead: Ebo Taylor & Pat Thomas
DESCRIPTION:The legendary guitarist\, composer\, and producer Ebo Taylor is responsible for some of the greatest music in Ghana’s history—and in history\, period. With a career spanning over half a century\, his influence on African music is undeniable\, from his early days playing ticklish highlife with bands like The Stargazers to collaborating with Afrobeat innovator Fela Kuti. Taylor brought together traditional Ghanaian music with American jazz and funk\, as well as the unstoppable groove of Afrobeat\, on albums like Ebo Taylor & The Pelikans and Tower Nyame. With longtime collaborator Pat Thomas—himself one of Ghana’s most beloved singers—he presents a soul-stirring exploration of rhythms and melodies from throughout his storied career. \nEbo Taylor and his family have decided to make this tour his official farewell to the Americas. This will be our final opportunity to honor the legendary maestro\, the pioneer of highlife and father of Afrobeat\, and give him his flowers. \nThis program is a collaboration with the LA Phil Insight initiative\, generously supported by Linda and David Shaheen. \nAbout Jazz Is Dead \nPlease note: This concert was rescheduled from October 9\, 2024 to May 16\, 2025 with a second date added of May 17\, 2025. Previously purchased October 9 tickets are valid for the new May 16\, 2025 date.
