The Aardvark Jazztet (a six-piece ensemble drawn from the legendary Aardvark Jazz Orchestra, Mark Harvey, Music Director) will present Through the Jazz Decades, an exhilarating tour from New Orleans to the Great American Songbook, from Miles Davis to Mark Harvey. The show will include the New Orleans staple Down by the Riverside, the Miles Davis modal masterpiece All Blues, and Mark Harvey's original compositions (“captivating, highly recommended” -Jazz Improv), plus favorites by George Gershwin, Fats Waller, Duke Ellington and more. Dr. Harvey, who teaches jazz history at MIT and lectures widely on American music, will be the tour guide through this panoramic jazz soundscape. The Aardvark Jazz Orchestra, now in its 41st season, has been called “stunning” (Billboard.com), “brilliant” (CultureJazz.France), and “beyond category” (Downbeat). Information: (207) 934-9068....
