Flugelhornist & Jazz Forum Arts Executive Director, Mark Morganelli returns to Florida after an absence of 35 years, to lead his Jazz Forum All-Stars featuring veteran Ira Sullivan and pianist Don Friedman in an evening of cherished standards by Rodgers & Hart, The Gershwins, Jerome Kern, Duke Ellington, and Miles Davis, as well as Brazilian favorites by Antonio Carlos Jobim.

A five-time Grammy nominee, Ira Sullivan has been called “Pure lyric,” “Fire,” “Formidable,” “Complex,” “Ornate,” “Unparalleled,” “Haunting,” or, more simply, “Legend.” Some reviewers say he is a musical genius; others say this is an understatement. World class multi-instrumentalist Ira Sullivan plays trumpet, flugelhorn, peckhorn, tenor, alto, and soprano saxophones, flute, and an occasional round of drums, all of them impeccably and not as a gimmick. A master of almost the entire range of brass and reed instruments, he is known for his ability to come in cold and turn in a stellar performance. Ira is widely recorded and tours on the national and international jazz circuits.
