A jazz series curated by Christine Tobin and Phil Robson

In the 50s and 60s, a counterculture grew throughout the States, and the iconic Greenwich Village of New York City became the center of a revolution that was happening in jazz music with artists such as John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Ornette Coleman, and many others. This Tobin’s Run celebrates their pioneering spirit, alongside songs from great vocal artists of the day, Abbey Lincoln and Sarah Vaughan. The evening will also feature film clips of musicians and Village clubs from the era.

Joining hosts Christine Tobin and Phil Robson are special guests Ingrid Jensen on trumpet, Tim Armacost on saxophone, David O’Rourke on guitar, Peter Brendler on double bass, and Jimmy Macbride on drums. The evening will also feature archival footage of musicians and Village clubs from the era.

The award-winning Irish vocalist, songwriter, and composer Christine Tobin and acclaimed jazz guitarist Phil Robson return with Tobin’s Run on 51 for a fourth season, bringing together some of New York’s best Irish and international musicians to play sets and share stories about jazz music’s greatest artists and treasures.
