This Sunday, we're grooving through our archives and revisiting a fan-favorite Off Minor Concert.

Sonny Rollins’ 1957 album Way Out West introduced the technique he called “strolling”, solo saxophone over only bass and drums, without a piano.  This intimate, pared-down ensemble format quickly became a Rollins signature, and a new go-to format for jazz groups to follow.

The Off Minor Jazz Series paid tribute to Sonny Rollins and the heyday of mid-century jazz 
at City of Asylum March 2019—and jazz fans are still talking about the superb concert!

Join us to revisit Off Minor’s rendition of Way Out West from City of Asylum’s archives and hear Thomas Wendt behind-the-scenes commentary on these one-time-only improvisations and the evening’s unique chemistry.
