Yes! Al Vega, Boston's Living Legend of Jazz, will play an
exclusive engagement at the Sherborn Inn, Thursday 4 Nov. 7-9:30

Boston's Copley Plaza Hotel. Al has played with all of the

The history
of the New England jazz scene is neatly summarized in the person
of
AL VEGA.
Al has been gigging in the Boston area since 1938 and he's still
one of the area's foremost jazz artists. The Boston Media refers
to Al as "Boston's
Living Legend of Jazz".
He's worked opposite virtually every name in American jazz - to
mention a few:
Dizzy Gillespie, Betty Carter, Lester Young, Stan Getz,
Billie Holiday!
He's shared with them Boston's legendary jazz rooms:
The HiHat, Storyville, The Ken Club, The Jazz Workshop.

The Al Vega Trio appears regularly at Lucky's, the Beehive, and
many other clubs in the Boston area.
Equally accomplished on the vibes, Al will be featured this
evening on the Inn's Yamaha grand piano. He's accompanied by
several of the Inn's popular performers, including Jimmy Mazzy
(banjo, vocals), Jeff Hughes (cornet), Craig Ball (reeds), Justin Meyer (string
bass), and Steve Taddeo (drums). This will be a special
evening, featuring a very special gentleman! |
