An intriguing journey where classic Motown grooves collide with the spirit of jazz. From the Jackson 5’s “I Want You Back” reimagined through Coltrane’s lens, to Rick James going Bossa Nova, Motown Meets Jazz explores the deep connections between jazz and the Motown sound. Celebrate legends like Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, The Beatles, and The Meters with jazz-infused arrangements, original compositions, and iconic tunes like “Super Freak,” “What’s Going On,” and “My Cherie Amour.” Tied together by stories of Berry Gordy’s jazz roots and the 1960s cultural revolution, this show is a bold, joyful tribute to the music that moved a generation.
