On Sunday, November 11 at 7pm, NJW is proud to present a special new event, which we're calling Music City Masters.

Music City Masters is an interview/performance program that spotlights some of the area’s finest jazz musicians and explores their contributions in the many musical forms that make up Music City. Musical guests are pianist/arranger Jeffrey Steinberg, trumpeter Rod McGaha, and pianistChris Walters. The program is moderated by jazz piano legend Beegie Adair.

It is planned as the first in an ongoing series to explore the place of jazz and jazz musicians in the city’s musical landscape. The program will be presented to a live audience and also recorded for later internet broadcast. Admission to the performance is $20, $10 for high school and college students. The program is made possible through support from the Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee.

Beegie Adair is the dean of Nashville jazz pianists, with a career spanning more than 40 years. She epitomizes the versatility of the city’s jazz musicians: in addition to jazz, she has recorded and performed in the country, pop, blues, and rock vein. Her career has included radio, television, and studio work. In recent years her focus has been exclusively on jazz. She has toured nationally and internationally and her CD’s are acclaimed the world over. Her skills as an interviewer and conversationalist are also legendary. During the 1990’s she hosted “Improvised Thoughts” on WMOT radio and has had a number of live performance series that included interview and music. She has been a guest on Marian McPartland’s “Piano Jazz.”

Our three musical guests and distinguished moderator offer outstanding examples of how jazz can be a foundation for many different areas of the music business. Music City Masters will explore these connections through in-depth interviews as well as lots of music.

Tickets will be available online and by phone at the Nashville Jazz Workshop (615-242-5299) beginning Monday, October 29.

Admission: $20.00
High School & College Students: $10.00
