FREE Jazz Concert by
Warren Hill & Eric Darius
Highlights Weekend at
Lake Concord Park
Worldwide performers Warren Hill and Eric Darius will combine forces for a one-of-a-kind free jazz show at
Casselberry’s Spring Jazz and Art Festival March 28 at Lake Concord Park.
The Canadian-born Hill has released
nearly a dozen albums with sales of more than 1 million copies. His live show
is critically acclaimed as one of the best in his genre.
Hill has won six Canadian Smooth
Jazz Awards, Berklee Distinguished Alumni, multiple SESAC Songwriter Awards, a
Juno nomination and has had multiple No. 1 songs at Radio & Records, USA
Today and Billboard.
Hill has
performed as a special guest for many artists, including the number 1 pop hits
"Baby I Love Your Way" with Big Mountain, "Tell Me What You
Dream" with Restless Heart". In the field of contemporary jazz he has
been heard on recordings with Chieli Minucci, Keiko Matsui, Jeff Golub, Steve
Oliver, Special EFX, John Tesh, to name a few, many of which became No. 1
songs.
Still a vocalist at heart, Hill
continues to include his vocals on his CDs, one of which reached Top 20 on the
Billboard Charts in 1998 "Shelter From the Storm". His television
credits include performances on Arsenio Hall, The Tonight Show and BBC's Top of
the Pops.
Darius, who grew up in Tampa, just
released a new CD called “Retro Forward,” which includes a saxophone version of
the smash hit “Happy.” Darius’
infinite vision has allowed the musical chameleon to collaborate with such
diverse superstars as Prince, Jamie Foxx, David Foster, George Benson, Mary J.
Blige and Wynton Marsalis to name a few. He has even appeared on the popular
Simon Cowell TV series, The X Factor and TNT’s hit TV drama series, Mob City.
For
“Retro Forward,” the Billboard chart-topping saxophonist aligns himself with a new crew of producers and writers and the
result is a new found energy and sound.
That’s not all the entertainment
as local R&B
group Evolushon will open the night of great music.
Besides the music, there will be more than 30 vendors and food
choices, including barbecue, Spanish and Mexican.
Stop by
the Firehouse Sculpture Center and City Hall to view the second annual
Experience Contemporary Art Exhibit. Bring
your blankets, chairs and friends and celebrate an unforgettable evening of
smooth jazz.
