About this event
Joel Ross: Good Vibes / The Vibraphone Summit with Warren Wolf, Joe Locke, Stefon Harris & Chien Chien Lu The modern vibraphone was born in Chicago, when J. C. Deagan, Inc., unveiled the vibraharp in 1927. A century later, that history reverberates at Symphony Center. Chicagoan Joel Ross and his band Good Vibes “treat rhythm as both fundamental and unfixed” (The New York Times), balancing complexity, lyricism and emotional clarity. Led by vibes master Warren Wolf and featuring today’s top vibraphonists — Joe Locke, Stefon Harris and Chien Chien Lu — The Vibraphone Summit lets the instrument’s past and present ring side by side, honoring pioneers from Lionel Hampton to Milt Jackson. Ludwig-Musser, a division of Conn Selmer, is the official vibraphone provider for this performance.
