Robert Boone, Jr. Quartet/Jazz at All Saints'

From the venue:

A Grammy Award-winner, Boone is a featured artist with the Legendary Count Basie Orchestra and a member of the jazz faculty at Georgia State University. In addition to touring with the Basie Orchestra, he has performed at premier venues such as the Blue Note and Birdland and, closer to home, Spivey Hall and the Cobb Energy Centre. Boone is also a member of the band, The Boom! Trio, featuring vocal artist Lavahi, with whom he is creating original music.

For the September concert, Boone and his quartet will present “A Max Roach Centennial Celebration,” paying tribute to the renowned drummer and activist Max Roach, whose music shaped both jazz and social justice. Roach’s iconic We Insist! Freedom Now Suite was a powerful statement against injustice that has inspired generations of protest music.
