The Gathering is an ongoing series presented by the Berklee Institute of Jazz and Gender Justice. Events are open to the greater Berklee community and public, and feature performances, guest lectures, workshops, and discussions—all with gender and racial equity as a guiding principle.

This week, we welcome pianist, composer, and Associate Program Director of Creative Development for the Institute of Jazz and Gender Justice Kris Davis. Davis is a Grammy award–winning pianist and composer described by the New York Times as a beacon for “deciding where to hear jazz [in New York] on a given night.” Davis has released 24 recordings as a leader or co-leader and collaborated with artists such as Terri Lyne Carrington, Dave Holland, John Zorn, Craig Taborn, Ingrid Laubrock, Tyshawn Sorey, and Esperanza Spalding B.M. '05. She was named a 2021 Doris Duke Artist alongside Wayne Shorter and Danilo Pérez, Pianist of the Year by DownBeat magazine in 2020 and 2022, and Pianist and Composer of the Year by the Jazz Journalists Association in 2021.
