San Francisco-based string quartet Kronos and L.A.'s own modern jazz pianist/composer Billy Childs each play their own sets and then collaborate on a piece written by Childs to stunning effect. "The most innovative and influential jazz guitarist of the past 25 years" (Wall Street Journal), Bill Frisell begins the evening with his spacious jazz and country-inflected drum/violin trio.

The Los Angeles Philharmonic has been presenting unparalleled jazz programming for over 30 years and continues that tradition in the 2011/12 season. Highlighting the versatility of the genre, Los Angeles Philharmonic Creative Chair for Jazz Herbie Hancock and the LA Phil have created a dynamic series that weaves together elements of traditional jazz, world influence and dance. The final jazz presentation this season is a one-of-a-kind evening of solo improvisations by legendary jazz pianist Keith Jarrett Tuesday, March 27, 2012.
