Sat 8/29 @ 8PM
The 18-piece Fat Tuesday Band, led by Cleveland’s dean of jazz tenor sax players Ernie Krivda, plays around town a lot. But the show they’ll play this week at Akron’s BluJazz promises to be special. There the band — comprising some of the area’s top jazz musicians — will feature the music of stellar composer/arrangers Quincy Jones, Oliver Nelson and Thad Jones. Blues, bop and boogie will be on the bill as the ensemble performs tunes such as “Air Mail Special,” “Manteca,” “Walk on the Wild Side,” “Evil Man Blues” and “Walking in Space.”
Tickets are $22.
