Magic Triangle
This season, we conclude the Magic Triangle Jazz Series, which presents improvised music across a broad range of styles and traditions in intimate venues at an affordable price. Founded and curated by Glenn Siegel (recently retired from UMass) for three decades, Magic Triangle has presented artists at all stages of their careers, including some of the most celebrated musicians in jazz history: Andrew Hill, Lester Bowie, Sam Rivers, Milford Graves, Yusef Lateef, Roscoe Mitchell, Von Freeman, Anthony Braxton, Cecil Taylor and Randy Weston. We have also presented younger artists like Vijay Iyer, Mary Halvorson, Amir ElSaffar, Joshua Abrams, Rudresh Mahanthappa and Tyshawn Sorey, who are charting new directions in jazz. All of the hundreds of fabulous musicians we have brought to the University of Massachusetts have had something profound to say and made lasting impacts on creative music.
