The first concert in this grand series will feature Larry McKenna, known globally for his gorgeous tenor saxophone sound, the beauty of his balladry, and his fluid, bebop-inspired improvisations.
Over the years, Larry has performed and recorded with such jazz stars as Woody Herman, Clark Terry, Buddy DeFranco, Barry Harris, Tony Bennett, Rosemary Clooney, Jimmy Heath, Jon Faddis, Harry Allen, Terell Stafford, Eric Alexander, Bill Charlap, Warren Vaché, Kenny Barron, Randy Brecker, Wynton Marsalis, and Frank Sinatra. Joining Larry will be Tom Lawton on piano, Kevin MacConnell on bass and Dan Monaghan on drums.
