The program, "Ten Greatest African American Jazz Saxophonists," is equal parts performance and presentation, and will explore the music of Cannonball Adderley, Sidney Bechet, John Coltrane, Dexter Gordon, Coleman Hawkins, Charlie Parker, Sonny Rollins, Grover Washington, Jr., Ben Webster and Lester Young.
Clark will reveal how their contributions have influenced the music and musicians, who came after them. He will perform to pre-recorded tracks, and provide back-story information about the featured artists.
In addition to being a saxophonist, and multi-instrumentalist, Clark leads his own groups, playing tenor, alto and soprano sax, and performs and records in a wide variety of musical settings and styles.
The performance will begin at 3 p.m. To learn more about Jim Clark, visit his website.
