We celebrate the East with a special one-off tribute show dedicated to the landmark Black cultural arts center. A one-of-a-kind venue and meeting place for Black people along Claver Place in Bed-Stuy from 1969 through the 1980s, it was the site of many landmark performances from Max Roach, Sun Ra, Betty Carter, Pharoah Sanders and other jazz legends. Gathering tonight will be an all-star lineup including direct East participants Billy Hart and Gary Bartz alongside Shabaka , Moor Mother, Julius Rodriguez, Luke Stewart, Nicole Mitchell, Elucid, Kweku Sumbry and Charles Burnham. They will reimagine a night at the East, using the center's rich history as a springboard to something new. Curated By Marcus J. Moore and Brice Rosenbloom.
