CANCELLED – Citizens Jazz: Music of Jazz Great Benny Golson

Due to unforeseen circumstances, this event has been cancelled. If you have already purchased tickets for this event, please note a refund will be issued as soon as possible. We apologize for any inconvenience and thank you for your understanding.

Citizens Jazz explores the brilliant compositions of an unknown giant of jazz, Benny Golson. Raised with an impeccable musical pedigree, Golson has played in the bands of the world-famous Benny Goodman, Dizzy Gillespie, Lionel Hampton, Earl Bostic, and Art Blakey. Few jazz musicians can claim to be true innovators, and even fewer can boast of a performing and recording career that literally redefines the term “jazz.” Golson has made major contributions to the genre with a long list of great standards, and he is the only living jazz artist to have written eight standards for jazz repertoire.
