“Jazz in North Park” Series presents the Cannonball-Coltrane Project on Oct. 6


North Park jazz addicts – your monthly fix is almost here! Lyric’s Jazz in North Park Series, presented in conjunction with Holly Hofmann, continues at the Birch North Park Theatre with the Cannonball-Coltrane Project on October 6, 2010.

Led by bassist Luther Hughes, the Cannonball-Coltrane Project was formed as an homage to the 1959 Cannonball Adderley-John Coltrane landmark album, “The Cannonball Adderley Quintet in Chicago.” The band pays tribute to these jazz giants with arrangements and original compositions related to or inspired by Cannonball and/or Coltrane. Besides Hughes, the band includes Glenn Cashman on tenor, Bruce Babad on alto, Ed Czach on piano, and Paul Kreibich on drums. “If Cannonball and ‘Trane were here I’m sure they would have given (the band) two thumbs up,’’ says legendary guitarist Mundell Lowe about the Cannonball-Coltrane Project.

The last Jazz in North Park show features The Ken Peplowski Quartet on November 3.
Details and tickets for all shows are here.

Jazz in North Park is presented by Lyric at the Birch in collaboration with Music Director Holly Hofmann, in association with KSDS 88.3 FM) radio.
