About

The Aardvark Jazz Orchestra, led by founder/music director Mark Harvey, will kick off its historic 45th season with a high-energy show at the Silver Center called The Worlds of Jazz—classics by Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Benny Goodman, Dizzy Gillespie and Miles Davis. The band will perform hits like Satin Doll, Everyday I Have the Blues, Roll ‘Em, Manteca, and All Blues. Also on tap: exhilarating originals by Mark Harvey, including the orchestral premiere of his piece SGS (Saint-Gaudens Studio) in honor of famed sculptor Auguste Saint-Gaudens, who maintained a summer studio in Cornish New Hampshire, where he spent his later years.
