The Jazz Passengers: The Supremes Project
About the Show
Led by the saxophonist and composer Roy Nathanson, The Jazz Project emerged from the frenetic explosion of experimentation characterizing New York’s 1980s downtown jazz scene. They are one of the city’s most playful and unusual groups, through a host of albums and extended collaborations (notably with Elvis Costello & Debbie Harry), they have continued to push the creative envelope with projects such as Fire at Keaton’s Bar & Grille, and a live score and dialogue for the Sci-Fi horror classic Creature From the Black Lagoon. The Supremes Project finds them in a typically mischievous and romantic mood, interpreting the music of the beloved and seminal girl group.
