The
first time performing in an acoustically pristine concert hall, The
Kansas City Jazz Orchestra will demonstrate its true precision and
artistry by performing compositions from the great American song book.
The concert will feature vocalist Steve March Tormé. Last name sound familiar? Son of the late Mel Tormé, Steve has been engaging audiences around the country singing some of his dad’s favorites as well as some of his own!
The
Kansas City Jazz Orchestra will “swing” you right into the season
performing beautiful big band arrangements of holiday classics. Nothing
quite says warm and cozy like “The Christmas Song.” Kansas City’s very
own Duck Warner, whose smooth crooning style is reminiscent of Nat King Cole, will sing this and other seasonal favorites.
From Basie to Bird,
The Kansas City Jazz Orchestra will perform music related to those
artists both past and present whose contribution to jazz has created
Kansas City’s renown ed jazz heritage. Also performing - special guest
vocal group The Wild Women of Kansas City including Kansas City treasures Myra Taylor, Geneva Price, Millie Edwards and Lori Tucker. Plaza Parking Options
