Donor generosity has allowed NEC to transform a neglected recital hall in NEC's St. Botolph building into Pierce Hall: a new, state-of-the-art performance space. What better place to trumpet the innovative sounds of NEC's student jazz ensembles? In November and December, April and May, there are dozens of nights when you can make visits to this jazz club, where there's never a cover charge!
Both of tonight's sets showcase ensembles coached by MacArthur Fellow Jason Moran. Moran's monthly teaching residencies at NEC resume spring semester, when he brings the New England premiere of his Thelonious Monk In My Mind project to NEC's Jordan Hall.
