Lar Lubovitch Dance Company’s long-awaited return to The Joyce is a jam-packed, two-week season. In an an all-jazz evening, Lubovitch re-imagines the choreographic possibilities of jazz.

The program features the world premiere performance of Coltrane’s Favorite Things, set to an iconic recording of John Coltrane’s interpretation of the Richard Rodgers song “My Favorite Things” and incorporating Jackson Pollock’s “Autumn Rhythm;” Nature Boy: Kurt Elling, set to the unique renditions of classic jazz standards by the Kurt Elling Ensemble; and Elemental Brubeck, set to lively tracks from Dave Brubeck’s 1963 album, Time Changes.

We’ve pulled together an itunes play list to get you prepped for performances. Enjoy!
