The nonprofit Jazz Arts Project, in partnership with Triumph Restaurant & Brewery, presents “The Joys of Jazz” with special guest, jazz great Wycliffe Gordon: A Legends & Lions Concert & Fundraiser.” Every year, this event brings together our Jazz Arts Academy students (the young Lions) with one or more world-class professional jazz artists (the Legend) for a delightful afternoon of live music and joy. Help support arts education and jazz programming in the community with us!
The students will alternate tunes and trade solos with the legends, showcasing the musical skills they have honed during the fall semester of the Jazz Arts Academy, the premier jazz education program in the region.
Many world-class jazz artists we have engaged with over the years have been integral to our education program, some of them serve as instructors, clinicians, and mentors to our up-and-coming young musicians. This event puts those relationships front and center on the theater's main stage.
The performance is scheduled to last about 90 minutes with no intermission. VIP tickets are also available, which include premier seating and a pre-show private lounge experience with food and drinks. After the show, Jazz Arts Project will offer a “fun-raising” reception with food, refreshments, and a cash bar.
