An Evening of Jazz Talent

Paul McCandless brings his multi-instrumental mastery to the stage, drawing from a rich 60-year career that includes his work with recognized ensembles like the Paul Winter Consort and OREGON. McCandless's contributions to music span diverse genres, traversing both classical and jazz landscapes with ease.

Joining him is John Stowell, whose guitar prowess has not only been celebrated in Guitar Magazine but who also has shared his knowledge as a writer.

Stowell has collaborated with various renowned jazz figures, adding to his already impressive reputation.

David Post, whose musical roots stem from classical choral traditions, has evolved into a significant force on the international jazz scene.
