Chicago Symphony Presents
Jeff Parker & The New Breed / Isaiah Collier & The Defiance
Feb 5, 2027 — 8:00 PM
Overview
Guitarist Jeff Parker and saxophonist Isaiah Collier embody the modern Chicago sound — music shaped by rhythm, risk and a fearless tradition of innovation. With The New Breed, Parker experiments in sample-based improvisation, combining jazz, lo-fi and instrumental hip-hop into his unmistakable sonic palette, developed over 40 years. Collier, an alumnus of ChiArts and Jazz Institute of Chicago programs and one of today’s fresh voices, builds on the legacy of saxophone greats like John Coltrane and Ari Brown, crafting music charged with a fierce immediacy.
