April 3, 2008 5:30 PM, 7:30 PM, 9:30 PM

Series: Savannah Jazz Party

When American jazz was exported across the globe via radio and recordings in the 1920s, musicians in many countries began developing their own styles of jazz. The fine art of "swinging" made jazz an international language and a wealth of new talent continues to emerge. This program combines rising international stars such as Italian vocalist Roberta Gambarini and Swedish guitarist Andreas Oberg with American players, including the incredible pianist Hank Jones and the soulful saxophonist Todd Williams, in a program where the language that is spoken is clear to all in attendance.

Price: $35
Venue: Charles H. Morris Center
