Jazz in the Bowl

The concert opens with the big sound of the Excursion Jazz Orchestra led by Don Sherman. The second half of the evening is music with swing by the Mid-Century Modern Jazz Quartet.
Excursion Jazz Orchestra is made up of 17 local musicians and directed by Rochester’s Mr. Holland’s Opus Award winner, music educator, and percussionist, Don Sherman. The audience can expect to be taken on a jazz journey, as EJO plays a wide variety of genres including Dixieland, Swing, Bebop, Cool, Rock, Funk, Afro-Cuban, Latin, and Pop.
The Mid-Century Modern Jazz Quartet performs with subtlety, elegance, and a swinging beat–it’s all about lines and phrasing.
All in all, a great summer evening of jazz in the Highland Bowl.
