Jazz in Motion Youth Concert September 15, 2012

Women in Jazz Concert Series presents Jazz in Motion Youth Concert: A Legacy of Jazz Music & Dance Saturday, September 15, 2012 from 6:30-8:30 pm at the Reagan High School Performing Arts Center, 7104 Berkman Drive, Austin, TX. This vivacious presentation of jazz history will feature some of Austin’s most talented young performers—Flava Dance Company, FrontierLive Band, saxophonists Blaigne Sixon and Simone Washington; drummer Clayton Winfrey; guitarist Justice Phillips; and vocalists Kylie Phillips, Helen Kasa, Shanice McKissick and Tree Greyarna. Each of these unique and exciting performers will take the stage and bring jazz history alive performing jazz instrumentals, singing and dance with jazz from the 1920’s through today. Coached by Artistic Directors Dr. James Polk and Pamela Hart, these youth will put on a top-notch, entertaining show on par with the Women in Jazz tradition.

This project is funded and supported in part by the City of Austin through the Cultural Arts Division believing an investment in the Arts is an investment in Austin’s future. Visit Austin at NowPlayingAustin.com.
