Tribeca Performing Arts Center Presents HIGHLIGHTS IN JAZZ, Final Show 5/13

JACK KLEINSINGER presents Highlights In JAZZ, New York's Longest Running Jazz Concert Series. Two shows are left in the series: the Ben Webster & Lester Young Centennial Concert and the Highlights in Jazz Grand Finale.

After 37 years Jack Kleinsinger is calling it quits. May 13, 2010 will be the last Highlights show making this an even 300 Highlights In Jazz concerts presented by Jack Kleinsinger. His decision is not an artistic one - he would like to continue to produce Highlights - but a financial one. Jack says "if someone can come up with the financing necessary to produce the annual series he'll continue, but with cuts in arts funding and private sponsorships for jazz down it's not likely I'll continue."

Ben Webster & Lester Young Centennial Concert, Thurs., Apr. 15, 2010 8PM.
Featuring Jimmy Heath, Joe Lovano, Harry Allen, Jeb Patton, David Wong, Winard Harper

Jimmy Heath has long been recognized as a brilliant instrumentalist and a magnificent composer and arranger. Jimmy is the middle brother of the legendary Heath Brothers (Percy Heath/bass and Tootie Heath/drums), and is the father of Mtume. He has performed with nearly all the jazz greats of the last 50 years, from Howard McGhee, Dizzy Gillespie, and Miles Davis to Wynton Marsalis.

This Grammy nominated artist has recorded over twenty albums for the Blue Note label and has been called one of the greatest musicians in jazz history by Ben Ratliff of The New York Times.
