Celebrating Charlie Haden

A good-natured titan of bass, who channeled his early experiences singing country and folk into a remarkably rich, earthy approach to improvisation, Charlie Haden made incalculable contributions to jazz from the late ’50s on up to his death last summer at the age of 76. This gratis celebration of a remarkable life features A-list Haden collaborators such as Geri Allen, Kenny Barron, Jack DeJohnette, Pat Metheny, Lee Konitz and Bill Frisell, as well as his signature groups, Quartet West and Liberation Music Orchestra. You'll also hear from the bassist's daughters—who perform as the Haden Triplets—his son, Josh, and his widow, Ruth Cameron-Haden.
