Join the Corey Manders Quartet for a great evening of jazz, celebrating the timeless music of Sonny Rollins and Jim Hall from their iconic 1962 album The Bridge.
The landmark recording was born from Rollins’ transformative three-year sabbatical, during which he practiced daily on New York’s Williamsburg Bridge.
The quartet will bring to life classics such as Without A Song, God Bless the Child and You Do Something to Me, along with other pieces inspired by the spirit of this seminal album. These works capture a golden era in Rollins’ career and showcase the understated brilliance of guitarist Jim Hall.
Featuring the soulful stylings of veteran musician Rick Smith on guitar, the dynamic rhythms of Ben Loh on drums, and the rich, melodic bass lines of Judy Tsai, this is a night of music not to be missed.
