Jazz Heritage Orchestra Swings Into Akron’s Blu Jazz +

Sun 4/29 @ 6PM

How about a little swingin’ big band jazz to put the exclamation mark on your weekend? Come down to Blu Jazz + in Akron where the Jazz Heritage Orchestra will be holding down the stage.

The 17-piece nonprofit orchestra, featuring both veteran players and promising young talents, is led by trumpeter Dennis Reynolds, who founded the ensemble 20 yeas ago in partnership with Cleveland State University’s Black Studies Department. Its mission is not only to keep the classic jazz repertoire alive but also to shine a spotlight on contemporary composers in the genre.

Tickets are $20, $10 for students with ID. And note the early start time so you won’t get to bed too late to get up for work in the morning.
