Jazz At LACMA: 30 Years Of Friday Night Jazz
ByFor more than 17 years, Mitch Glickman has been the musical director at LACMA, and he has presented the very best musicians in Southern California to the program's loyal audience. According to Glickman, the mission of LACMA Jazz has been that: "music is the vehicle, community is the goal." And Glickman has brought many great musicians to the stage that faces Chris Burden's by now iconic "Urban Lights" installation and Wilshire Boulevard. World renowned artists like Wayne Shorter and Quincy Jones, guitarist Kenny Burrell, sax masters Azar Lawrence and Kamasi Washington, cornetist Bobby Bradford, keyboardist Les McCann, bassist Henry Franklin, and so many more have performed there at LACMA))) Over the years, the enthusiastic crowds that gather every Friday between April and November are incontrovertible proof that LACMA's mission has been a unqualified success.
