The first portion of the program was absolutely outstanding and it should have continued for the rest of the evening. I was not impressed nor was I entertained by the second half of the show.Written on Oct 31 2011

The first half of the event was very good. Good selection of representative Impulse pieces---well performed.Written on Oct 31 2011
The second half, the "Project" was less pleasing, in fact tedious at times.

Description
When Impulse Records began in the early 1960s, John Coltrane was its most important artist. His bassist Reggie Workman honors Coltrane's legacy with his own African-American Legacy Project, conducted by Charles Tolliver and featuring pianist Stanley Cowell, in a re-creation of the legendary album Africa Brass complete with a full jazz orchestra and 16-member chorus.
In the 1980s, Impulse sprang back to life during The Young Lions days and helped revive jazz during its neo-classicism movement. An important young artist of that new Impulse era was pianist Eric Reed, whose expressive playing and deep lyricism has piloted his career to the present. Reed will open the concert with his ensemble Surge, including bassist Rodney Whitaker, drummer Willie Jones III, tenor saxophonists Seamus Blake and Stacy Dillard, trombonists Andre Hayward and Danny Kirkhum, trumpeter Jim Rotundi, and vocalist Andy Bey. They will feature the music of various Impulse artists including Oliver Nelson, Freddie Hubbard, Duke Ellington, Johnny Hartman, Coltrane, and of course, Reed himself.
