Let’s take a trip around the world with the magic of jazz as our pilot! Join us as East End Jazz invites audiences to a concert that brings us a captivating blend of lullabies, love songs, traditional folk tunes, and soundtracks from around the world, reimagined and transformed through the improvisational spirit of the beloved genre. Led by vocalist Olivia Foschi and Bassist Iris Ornig and featuring pianist Cecilia Coleman and drummer Brian Woodruff, the talented and accomplished quartet presents an impressionable evening written through the language of jazz.
Be it the energetic rhythms of “La Bamba,” the soulful melodies of “Bésame Mucho,” or the timeless classic “Moon River,” the concert showcases the diversity and beauty of music from all over the world. Fly with us from the United States, Mexico, Cuba, Brazil, South Africa, Italy, France, Germany, India, Korea, and Japan. Explore cultures and your enthusiasm for music with this unique program from the newly developed East End non-profit organization that is committed to bringing the community together through jazz.
