Motown Meets Jazz explores the deep connections between these two vibrant genres, paying tribute to legendary artists like Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, The Beatles, and The Meters with innovative arrangements, original compositions, and iconic tunes like “Super Freak,” “What’s Going On,” and “My Cherie Amour.”
Set against the backdrop of stories about Berry Gordy’s jazz roots and the cultural revolution of the 1960s, this show is a bold, joyful celebration of the music that moved a generation.
