Saturday Afternoon Concert
Henry Strater Theatre
2:30 p.m. – 4:30 p.m., “American Standards” Concert
Act I: Holland/Coots Jazz Quintet
Act II: Morten Gunnar Larsen and Adam Swanson
Saturday afternoon’s concert showcases the American standards of the 1920s and ‘30s that have become what is now called the “Great American Songbook.” In the first half, the Jazz Quintet will perform many standards, and, in the second half, Morten and Adam will play more American standards as piano solos or duets. Much of the early jazz repertoire is simply ragtime in another form—the influence of this music on the twentieth century is indelible.
General Seating. Doors open at 2PM.
