A Year of Jazz continues in April
Ms. Rosewoman is a modern jazz composer, pianist, and bandleader. Early in her career, she inspired raves from critics, musicians, and music fans. Her debut recording, The Source, was praised for its radiance and ingenuity. In a review published by DownBeat magazine, Ms. Rosewoman’s direction was likened to that of master innovator Charles Mingus. With her maiden voyage on record, she distinguished herself as both a talented player and a composer of unique vision. This concert is free with a valid ASU ID. General admission tickets are $7.
