Artistic Director Emerita Judith Jamison’s bright and bouncy work was inspired by a host of great female jazz artists and by Edward Hopper's famous painting Nighthawks. This ensemble piece sets the choreographer's distinctive vocabulary to music performed by Sarah Vaughan, Ella Fitzgerald, Nina Simone, Roberta Flack, Regina Carter, and Diana Krall.
