Kristen Strom Quintet With Skylar Tang

Hammer Theatre Center

Kristen Strom is one of the hardest-swinging tenor players in the business, and with her mastery she’s uniquely qualified to guide you on this musical journey. From the earliest roots of swing, through the Ellington and Basie era, to the bebop world of Charlie Parker, to the modern era of young lions influenced by hip-hop, neo soul, and new jack swing – your ears are in for a treat!
