Are Ovesen Swing Department

This Saturday, jazz trumpeter Are Ovesen draws inspiration from swing jazz of the 1940s and 1950s, with particular influence from tenor saxophonist Larry McKenna and trumpeter Warren Vaché, both well-known ambassadors of this style. The program includes classics such as “Pennies From Heaven” and “After You’ve Gone,” as well as lesser-known gems from this golden era. Ovesen is joined by an outstanding lineup of musicians who will make this afternoon an especially enjoyable experience.
