A Night of Jazz Royalty Hits the Jacobs Music Center

Three of the most iconic divas in jazz history—Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, and Sarah Vaughan—are getting a spectacular tribute at the first jazz concert in the newly renovated Jacobs Music Center!

We’re talking about an evening where three of today’s most brilliant vocalists will channel pure magic.

Stars Align for an Epic Tribute

The lineup is pure fire—Jane Monheit, Champian Fulton, and Sherry Williams are bringing their stellar vocals, backed by an all-star band featuring the smooth tenor sax of Rickey Woodard, Sam Hirsh on piano, John Clayton on bass, and Matt Wilson on drums.

And speaking of Champian Fulton, she’s pulling double duty on both vocals and piano because that’s just how talented she is.

See you there!

Join us on Saturday, November 23, at 7:30 PM for the first-ever jazz concert at Jacobs Music Center honoring our most iconic divas. And here’s a sweet bonus—catch the Young Lions Jazz Conservatory All Stars jazzing things up before the main show.
