Max Roach at 100: Tyshawn Sorey Trio + Sandbox Percussion

The legacy of jazz pioneer Max Roach is explored by the next generation of breakout percussionists: the Tyshawn Sorey Trio (MacArthur Fellow, Pulitzer Prize winner, composer and multi-instrumentalist Tyshawn Sorey; pianist Aaron Diehl and bassist Harish Raghavan) and GRAMMY®-nominated chamber quartet Sandbox Percussion.

The two groups will perform their own sets highlighting Roach’s impact across musical worlds. Then, they’ll join forces for the East Coast premiere of a through-composed multi-movement piece paying tribute to Roach’s groundbreaking M’Boom ensemble.
