2016 Sync Up Conference
Keynote Interview: Geri Allen
The Arts of a Career In Jazz
Friday, April 22, 2016
The George and Joyce Wein Jazz & Heritage Center
How do you start a career in jazz? By talking to one of the most respected pianists, composers and educators around. Far from being a traditionalist, Geri Allen - who headlines the Jazz Fest's Jazz Tent - started her touring career with Mary Wilson and the Supremes. After that, she worked with the genre-busting Black Rock Coalition and Brooklyn's M-Base Collective. Whether working with Ornette Coleman or recording jazz versions of Beatles and Motown classics, she's a restless artist who breaks all manner of boundaries. Now, as Director of Jazz Studies at the University of Pittsburgh, she mentors young musicians as they take their own places on the global stage.
