One of the most sought-after figures in contemporary music, Tyshawn Sorey has changed jazz as we know it. Combining complex scores with spontaneous improvisation, Sorey is creating a new identity on the border between classical music and jazz. At Chicago Humanities, this genre-defying composer takes the stage for a performance with his celebrated trio (Aaorn Diehl on piano, Matt Brewer on drums) featuring pieces from Sorey’s acclaimed album, Mesmerism, and The American Songbook including Duke Elington's REM Blues, Kosma's Autumn Leaves, and Detour Ahead.
