EDITOR’S CHOICE: THE TÄLLBERG FOUNDATION: "JAZZ FOR THE PLANET"

Like every month, Editor’s Choice presents a handpicked favorite of Stingray DJAZZ's editor-in-chief, Karen van der Stal. This month, Karen spotlights The Tällberg Foundation: "Jazz for the Planet". Performed at GBH’s Fraser studio in Boston, Massachusetts, bassist John Patitucci, drummer Terri Lyne Carrington, pianist Anastassiya Petrova, guitarist Chico Pinheiro, saxophonists Joe Lovano and Marco Pignataro come together to inspire audiences to reflect on environmental issues through the universal language of music. This time, the spotlight is on an innovative project Jazz for the Planet. By building on 40 years of The Tällberg Foundation’s efforts to nurture new thinking by looking at societal challenges through artistic lenses, new jazz music aims to inspire positive climate action by presenting a powerful initiative of blending creativity and global impact. Jazz for the Planet showcases the vibrant collaboration between musicians from diverse backgrounds, delivering a performance that blends genres and cultures, while underscoring the urgent need to address climate change. By intertwining jazz’s improvisational spirit with a cause that affects us all, The Tällberg Foundation aims to ignite global conversations, ensuring that the sound of change resonates far beyond the stage.
