On February 17, 2018, pianist Kris Davis played in the second of two concerts at Harvard University to honor the late jazz pianist
Geri Allen. It was a fantastic night of music worthy of Allen’s tremendous talent. Davis took the stage in various ensembles, with some featuring drummer Terri Lyne Carrington, who had also curated the concert. The formidable connection on display would prove to be educational and ideological. When Carrington was organizing tributes to Allen, she
invited Davis to join the
Berklee Institute of Jazz and Gender Justice, where Davis now works as the associate program director of creative development.
