Jake Hanna book launch with author Maria Judge
October 10th, 5:30-8:00PM
150 Massachusetts Ave, Media Lab
Jake Hanna joined Toshiko Akiyoshi’s trio in Boston in 1957 after studying at the Berklee School of Music. He played with Maynard Ferguson (1958) and Woody Herman’s Orchestra (1962-64) and did extensive work as a studio musician both in and out of jazz, including ten years as the drummer for the Merv Griffin Show big band (1964-75). He recorded numerous albums for Concord Jazz, and his 1975 Grammy-nominated recording of Live at Concord, which he co-led with trombonist Carl Fontana, was the label’s biggest seller up to that point.
Learn more about this highly skilled, self-effacing jazz drummer, known as readily for his superb musicianship as he was for his wit. Join the Berklee Bookstore for a book signing and live music with Phil Wilson at 5:30PM. Then walk across the street to the Stan Getz Library for a reading, video, and interviews with the author & Berklee community members.
