They will play four different pieces, two at each show, and then join the guest musicians for a final piece with the entire performing group.

Alex has gone to jazz camps for years and networked to get to know the players.

He's in a league by himself. Alex has forgotten more about jazz than most of us remember.

Musicians never retire. We play every month for Bay Pines, and we play at the Sunshine Center near the Coliseum and at the Palladium.

We are honored to play host to such an esteemed group of musicians. We look forward to their return to Vail and to their arrival at the Vail Cascade next summer. Our July guests are in for a very special treat.

I couldn't hear much, but didn't care. Until I saw the Beatles play live, I had no idea that musicians could generate that kind of adoration. I was transformed by the whole experience.
