On Wednesday, February 14, 2018, bring your sweetie to hear some Valentine’s jazz. The Gold Coast Jazz Society’s jazz series will featuring five world-renowned musicians all in one place! Jazz drummer, Willie Jones III, is bringing his all-star group of friends to perform Love Songs and Lovers…the Ones You Have Forgotten. The concert takes place at the Amaturo Theater of the Broward Center for the Performing Arts, 201 SW 5th Avenue in Fort Lauderdale at 7:45pm. Single tickets are available for $55 per person. Students and teacher tickets are $10 with valid ID. To purchase single tickets, call the Broward Center AutoNation Box Office at 954-462-0222, or go online to www.browardcenter.org or www.goldcoastjazz.org.
This Valentine’s inspired performance includes jazzy arrangements of love songs and jazz favorites with Willie Jones III, drums; Terrell Stafford, trumpet; Robin Eubanks, trombone; Ralph Moore, sax; Eric Reed, piano, and Gerald Cannon, bass. These band represents the core of what jazz is currently, and in true jazz fashion, this band was created especially for this tour.
Ever since 1997, when he moved to New York City from his hometown of Los Angeles, Willie Jones III has been one of the jazz capital’s most prominent drummers. Whether functioning as a savvy bandleader or high-profile sideman, Jones applies to every context an abiding musicality and a tonal personality that, as Wynton Marsalis puts it, is “ever tasteful.” His “West Coast swagger” gives Jones’s playing a “looseness that isn’t lackadaisical and an edge that isn’t overwhelming” says fellow band member Eric Reed.
“I still follow Billy Higgins’ model,” Jones says. “I’m always trying to support whoever I’m working with to make the music sound as good as possible. I have a good balance. I’ll continue to evolve as a leader, but I’ll always play as a sideman—I still love learning and playing other people’s music.” For more information about this artist go to http://www.williejones3.com

An Evening with the Four Freshmen
It all started in 1948, when four college freshmen crafted a unique style of vocal harmony that soon caught the ear of the great bandleader Stan Kenton. With over 75 albums, 70 top selling singles and 6 Grammy Nominations, this fab four have toured constantly since their inception, continuing to perform to sold-out audiences around the globe. The integrity of the sound created by the original guys has been meticulously maintained. Die-hard fans and former members alike have agreed that the current lineup; Bob Ferreira, Tommy Boynton, Stein Malvey and Curtis Calderon, are second to none.
