Bassist, composer, and bandleader Corcoran Holt brings Freedom of Art to Dizzy’s Club for a powerful evening of original music rooted in family, community, and personal history. Shaped by his Washington, D.C. upbringing, his years on the New York jazz scene, and his current life in Phoenix, Holt’s compositions move with deep swing, modern improvisational fire, West African rhythmic influences, and heartfelt storytelling. With a dynamic ensemble at his side, Holt creates music that honors elders, embraces change, and turns lived experience into sound—an uplifting, groove-rich set from a bassist with a commanding voice and a deeply personal vision.
