Grace Cathedral is a San Francisco landmark: the site of Duke Ellington s Sacred Concerts in the Sixties and, since 1983, home to recitals at the centerpiece of the annual San Francisco Jazz Festival.
Marsalis presents a programme spanning early and post-bop jazz, baroque and contemporary classical music and spontaneous improvisation. Marsalis also balances the program with four improvisations, each of which sustains the mood of deep feeling and melodic coherence.
Musical spontaneity, like spontaneity in any language, has to be within a context to be meaningful and the more music you know, the more spontaneous you can be. So I went out on stage with spaces intentionally left in the program, where I could create improvisations clearly based both on what I had just played and the feeling of the room and the audience.
