Monk to NOLA
NEW ORLEANS – One of jazz’s most prestigious organizations is on its way to the genre’s spiritual home.
The Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz is relocating its performance program from Los Angeles to New Orleans’ Loyola University.
To celebrate the move, jazz pianist Herbie Hancock, saxophonist Wayne Shorter and trumpeter Terence Blanchard – a New Orleans native – planned to join the program’s incoming class for a performance at Loyola on Monday.</em>
