Guildhall Improvisers’ Workshop: The Music of Geri Allen featuring Annette Walker

Guildhall Improvisers' Workshop - Tuesday 5 Dec 2023

The Improvisers’ Workshop is a Guildhall School group focusing on creative jazz improvisation, approaching the jazz ensemble as a malleable vehicle for contemporary composition. This performance will feature tap dancer Annette Walker. Walker’s invitation to feature in this concert is inspired by Geri Allen’s composition ‘The Dancer’, and a live performance with Allen’s trio and tap dancer Maurice Chestnut in 2009 (Geri Allen & Timeline Live).
