Out of the Ashes is a moving and inspirational music program that celebrates the triumph of the human spirit over adversity. Presented by Clazzical Notes in a heartfelt partnership with Pasadena Village, this performance features the renowned Louis Van Taylor Jazz Quartet. The program is more than just a concert; it is a narrative of recovery.
 
The members of the quartet faced devastation loss when they lost both their homes and their musical instruments to fire. This performance marks their return to the stage, showcasing the power of the Altadena community support and the unbreakable bond between musicians and their craft.
 

The Music: A soul-stirring selection of jazz standards and original compositions led by master saxophonist Louis Van Taylor and guest artist a legend musician Bobby Bradford

The Story: Between sets, the musicians share personal reflections on their journey of rebuilding and the role music played in their healing.
