Save the Date for Jazz

On Sunday, September 17, West Coast guitarist John Stowell joins fellow guitarist Draa Hobbs for a duo performance at MSA. In addition to original compositions, the duo will perform a wide variety of music from the classic jazz repertoire featuring classic compositions by Dave Brubeck, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Duke Ellington, Billy Strayhorn, and Kenny Wheeler. The Los Angeles Times wrote of Stowell, "Guitarist John Stowell’s style with standards is a delightful departure from the road well traveled. He transcends the label of jazz guitarist.” 

Plan now to attend this evening of great jazz!
