What happens at Jazz Vespers?
In some Christian traditions, there is a regular form for a worship service that would take place after sunset, or in the early evening: Vespers. That name is the only thing traditional about Jazz Vespers.
Jazz on the other hand speaks to the non-traditional way of doing things. Jazz is a freewheeling expression of musical charm that expresses itself from Blues to Rag Time, from Dixieland to New Orleans, from Big Band to solo expressions, Jazz is by definition non-traditional.
Every month we are privileged to present some of the best Jazz artists in the world. We begin at 6 PM with our host welcoming us and introducing the musicians who will play. Then the music continues until nearly 7 PM
