ABOUT THIS EVENT
We’re celebrating the marriage of two of America’s greatest inventions: Jazz...and The Musical Theater. But how did they meet? And what makes them so glorious together? Starring in this production will be - and I’m so pleased to report - the dazzling David Rokeach on drums. You know him - you love him: the wonderful John Hoy on guitar. And the young patriarch of a musical dynasty - the transportive Cayce Carnahan on trumpet. And me (and I just found out I was actually born on Broadway) on keys, vocals, stories. Come get inside these fantastic songs with us! You may want to bring some friends to this one.

ABOUT JAZZ STORIES
People love hearing jazz...and hearing about it. Musicians like Miles Davis, Charlie Parker and Buddy Rich were original, colorful characters artists who said and did astonishing things. Fortunately their colleagues cared enough to document these moments in stories and pictures and we now have a rich repository of photos and anecdotes about these artists, and about the American songwriters and composers who created the raw material of jazz.
