This iteration, Jazz Bridge # 2.8 includes the following:

Hunter Diamond: tenor saxophone & electronics

Established in 2013,The Bridge provides the opportunity for a Franco-American ensemble to travel between the U.S. and France to collaborate, experiment and learn from each other.

This performance adds a new element by providing a unique opportunity for the UChicago Jazz ensemble to play with the Jazz Bridge musicians. The UChicago Jazz Ensemble, led by Michael Allemana, is a versatile collection of UChicago student musicians, frequently joined in performance by noted Chicago-area professionals and known for its boldness in showcasing cutting-edge works.
