Established venues reopened after pandemic shutdown and two new ones, The Rady Shell at Jacobs Park and San Diego Jazz Ventures at The Alexandria, debutedAllison Miller is returning to the La Jolla Athenaeum with her jazz band, Tic Boom Tic. She is shown here performing with the 8G Band on the March 11, 2019, telecast of “Late Night with Seth Meyers.”
Oscar-winning actor Jamie Foxx, a former student at United States International University, is also a nominee “Every night with Charles is like driving off a cliff!” guitarist Wilson said, speaking from his Los Angeles home. And how good a driver is Lloyd, who in the 1960s befriended and performed with Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan and the Grateful Dead?“Ninety miles an hour is the speed I drive!” Lloyd replied, invoking the lyrics to the Hendrix song “Crosstown Traffic.”
“We tried to reschedule Charles for later in 2020, which would have been in a duo with Julian Lage, and then last year, but we couldn’t get a venue here for the dates he was available,” said Athenaeum jazz curator Atkinson, who is also the Western Jazz Presenters Network’s executive director. The La Jolla Athenaeum Music & Arts Library opened in 1898. Its jazz concert programming began in 1989 in the 160-seat Joan and Irwin Jacobs Music Room. Seven year later, in 1996, the Athenaeum Jazz at Neurosciences Institute Auditorium series was launched.
Los Angeles-based Lloyd band guitarist Wilson, who has performed multiple times in the Athenaeum jazz series, said Atkinson offers a really strong example of how to do creative music programming. “But, in another way, I would have been delighted. Because one of the most gratifying things is the relationships that have developed with the artists and with the audience members. There’s a real spirit of camaraderie that I’m really grateful for.”A tireless artistic force, Charles Lloyd was barely out of grade school when he launched his musical career in the 1950s in his native Memphis. He was mentored there by pianist Phineas Newborn Jr.
