Monterey Jazz Festival 55th Anniversary Tour Comes to The Straz in Tampa April 13, 2013

Monterey Jazz Festival on Tour
Saturday, April 13, 7:30 p.m.
TICKETS

The dream of founder Jimmy Lyons became reality in 1958, when the first Monterey Jazz Festival featured artists like Dizzy Gillespie, Louis Armstrong, John Lewis, Sonny Rollins, Gerry Mulligan, Art Farmer, Ernestine Anderson, Harry James, Max Roach and Billie Holiday. This 55th Anniversary Tour reflects Monterey’s “traditional-un-traditionalist” attitude, jazz-with-a-purpose exuberance and joyful fun that continues to be the hallmark of the Festival to this day. The tour features Dee Dee Bridgewater (vocals), Christian McBride (bass, musical director), Ambrose Akinmusire (trumpet), Chris Potter (tenor and soprano saxophones), Benny Green (piano) and Lewis Nash (drums).
