New York, NY. (Top 40 Charts/ Shore Fire Media) - Performance and discussion with jazz icons Charlie Haden and Alan Broadbent, hosted by Executive
Director of The GRAMMY MuseumSM Bob Santelli.
WHO: Musicians Charlie Haden and Alan Broadbent; Bob Santelli, Executive Director of The GRAMMY Museum SM
An acoustic bassist of extraordinary gifts, Charlie Haden's talents as a musician have been in constant demand by his fellow artists. He has played with such jazz legends as Art Pepper, Hampton Hawes, and Dexter Gordon as well as teamed with a variety of diverse international musicians from Brazil, Argentina, and Portugal. Haden formed the Haden's Quartet West, which is a unique and conceptual Los Angeles-based group known for including bits of dialogue from film-noir films between bop performances. The pianist in the Quartet is New Zealand-born Alan Broadbent. A multiple GRAMMY-winning acoustic pianist and arranger, Broadbent has worked as a sideman for Chet Baker and has written arrangements for Natalie Cole. His music is often steeped in emotion filled with a romanticism that's infused with anguish and melancholy.

About the Duke Jazz Talks Series: Presented in conjunction with The New York Performing Arts Library and The Recording Academy, The Duke Jazz Talks are one-on-one conversations between GRAMMY-nominated or GRAMMY-winning jazz artists and Robert Santelli, Executive Director of The GRAMMY Museum. Normally held at New York's Lincoln Center, this special Los Angeles date allows The GRAMMY Museum to host critically-acclaimed jazz composer and bassist Charlie Haden accompanied by pianist Alan Broadbent. Taking place in the Museum's state-of-the-art GRAMMY Sound Stage, an intimate performance will follow the interview. Funding for this project is provided by the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation. The Library's Duke Jazz Talk Series continues in New York with appearances by Bucky and John Pizzarelli (February 11, 2009), and Dave Brubeck (April 15, 2009). The first installment of the series occurred in New York in October, with guest McCoy Tyner.
This series is part of a two-year project funded by the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation to present, document, and preserve jazz, contemporary dance, and theater performances including a series of jazz oral histories, Duke Jazz Histories, produced in collaboration with Jazz at Lincoln Center.
