Singer and songwriter Dee Dee Bridgewater and Berklee College of Music Associate Professor Shirazette Tinnin are collaborating on a one-time-only performance on Thursday, Nov. 3 at 7 p.m. at the Red Room at Cafe 939. Featuring the work of pianist Horace Silver, a progenitor of jazz compositions, the evening, part of Berklee’s Signature Series, is a rare opportunity to experience the craft of these musicians up close in an intimate setting. “I was invited by Shirazette,” Bridgewater told the Banner, “and the evening will feature material from Horace Silver. Horace was a pianist and composer who played with the great drummer Art Blakey; I just love his music! There’s a funkiness to his compositions. I have always, always loved them, having been introduced to his music when I was 15, eons ago.” Structured around the Dee Dee Bridgewater Ensemble, musical direction will be provided by Tinnin, who is a composer and bandleader as well as an academic. A student ensemble performing with Bridgewater and Tinnin will breathe life into Silver’s jazz classics. The ensemble includes Rares Gherman (guitar), Caleb Texier (piano), Aki Oliviero (guitar), Joe Tavarez (drums), Chick Green (drums), Camden Bunker (baritone saxophone, doubles), Ian Banno (bass), Rinat Fishman (tenor saxophone, doubles) and Brandon Volel (trumpet).
