Oakland pianist, composer, and producer Kev Choice pays tribute to the hugely influential 1991 jazz-meets-hip-hop album

Kev Choice

Allen, the award-winning, highly acclaimed director, choreographer, author, dancer, and actor invited to select the pieces on the 2022 Playlist program, never had opportunity to meet Morgan in person. The original connection was initiated by Dina Bartello, the Oakland Symphony’s director of development. Bartello had held the same position at the Debbie Allen Dance Academy, just one of Allen’s activities that include a position as artist-in-residence at the Kennedy Center for over 15 years and serving as executive producer, director, and actress on ABC’s Grey’s Anatomy.

Debbie Allen’s Playlist

Howard Wiley and friends present a night of jazz and dance music in the Joe Henderson Lab. This evening represents a throwback to the music of King Curtis, Ray Charles and Miles Davis when all you wanted to do was dance. Original music will be presented by Wiley, along with fun creative mashups of past and present-day artists. Howard will be joined by his core band including organist LJ Holoman, bassist Clark Sims, and drummer Dante “Taz” Roberson along with special guest vocalists Martin Luther McCoy and Kev Choice
