Dave Burrell Tickets

Dave Burrell, born September 10, 1940 in Middletown, Ohio, is a towering figure in avant-garde and free jazz. A central presence in New York's vibrant improvisational scene, Burrell co-founded the 360 Degree Music Experience and collaborated extensively with leading improvisers like Archie Shepp, Marion Brown, and David Murray. Recognized as a Pew Fellow in Jazz Composition in 1996, Burrell's work as a composer is celebrated for its bold exploration of form and texture.

Across decades, his prolific output includes Windward Passages, a landmark jazz opera that showcases his panoramic approach to narrative through music. He later expanded that material into suites and performances, continuing to push the boundaries of improvisation and composition. In 2023, Harlem Rhapsody was released on Parco della Musica Records, available in LP and digital formats. Burrell's collaborative spirit remains evident in projects like New Earth (2015), a live duo recording with Garrison Fewell from a 2013 performance, reflecting ongoing dialogue with fellow improvisers.
