Northeast Ohio-based vocalist Barbara Knight has decades of experience behind her fronting big bands, including the Nelson Riddle Orchestra, the Tommy Dorsey Orhestra and the Harry James Orchestra, as well as a 13-year stint with the Harry Hershey Orchestra and 17 years as vocalist with the Cleveland Jazz Orchestra. She’s sung with the Cleveland Pops Orchestra too.

For her performance at Blu Jazz Akron, she’ll work with a smaller ensemble, featuring trumpeter Jack Schantz, pianist Phil Lantry, bassist Tim Powell and drummer Mark Gonder as they combine two sets of audience-pleasing music: holiday favorites and classics from the Great American Songbook.

Admission is $10.
