Artists like Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, John Coltrane and Herbie Hancock are now household names. There was a time, however, that these musicians were musical outlaws. Using atonality, dissonance, and improvisation they proceeded to free jazz from its structure. As the new vanguard of a movement, these musicians changed the way we listen to jazz. Today, a new vanguard is on the rise. Jazz musicians worldwide are experimenting with and changing the form, in real time. Jazz, Deconstructed, a New Mexico Jazz Workshop original series shines its searchlight on musicians who have also chosen the path less traveled to introduce new rhythms and sounds, creating a type of hybrid art form with jazz as the point of departure.
The third series of Jazz, Deconstructed focuses on the voice-- the singer, the poet, the chantreuse, the beatboxer and the storyteller.
