Three Jazz Events To Enjoy
As Jazz Appreciation Month continues, we’re thrilled to bring you three uniquely special events this week that celebrate the joy of jazz and the timeless beauty of the American Songbook.
From the swinging tribute to a legendary pianist to an intimate evening with a rising jazz vocalist and a showcase of the unique blended sound from one of jazz’s top guitarists, each concert offers a chance to immerse yourself in the artistry and community spirit that make live jazz so extraordinary.
Whether you join us for one performance or all three, there’s no better time to get out, show your support, and revel in the sounds that unite and inspire us all. There is no better time to appreciate the one true American art form of music we call jazz.
Warm regards,
Tony Zambito
Executive Director, JazzBuffalo
