Ohio-born jazz violinist Christian Howes is, in mid-career (he’s 44), considered one of the top jazz violin players. He’s an educator with his online Creative Strings Academy and he hosts his annual Creative Strings Workshop and Festival in Columbus, where he grew up. He’s released a string of albums including his latest, American Spirit, which offers his take on various genres of American roots music, including blues and spirituals, with eight standards and three of his own compositions.
He’ll be bringing his American Spirit quartet to Blu Jazz + in Akron to play music from that album. Tickets are $20.
