2016 Sync Up Conference Keynote Interview: Geri Allen, The Art of a Career in Jazz

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.
