Great Guitars: The DC Edition

Part two of a three-concert series continues on August 21 at 7pm.

Three jazz concerts in a club-like setting, featuring respected performers from the region and New York City’s jazz scene, will fill the historic Waterfowl Building in Easton, Maryland with music this summer. The series marks the debut of live performances presented by Jazz Alive, a charitable foundation based in Talbot County, at the historic Waterfowl Building’s Festival Hall. Located at 40 South Harrison Street, the popular venue serves as the headquarters for the Waterfowl Festival held annually in November. 
 

The second concert in the series features Great Guitars: The DC Edition on August 21. Following in the tradition of such great jazz guitarists as Charlie Byrd, Herb Ellis and Barney Kessel, jazz guitar prodigy Jan Knutson will team up with two DC guitar greats, Steve Abshire and Steve Herberman for a night of tunes from the Great American Songbook, popular jazz standards and favorites from the Latin jazz repertoire.

The concert begins at 7 p.m. Tickets are $35 for adults and $15 for students and are available at jazz-alive.org or at the door the day of the event. A cash bar and light hors d’oeuvres will be available for purchase. Proceeds from ticket and concession sales support Jazz Alive’s mission of providing educational support in developing future artists and preserving this great art form through school and community programs.
