Red Holloway Quartet
Friday, April 16 | 6:00 pm
The 2010 Jazz at LACMA season opens with one of Southern California's true living legends-and an international superstar-saxophonist Red Holloway. Highlights from his star-studded career include performances with Lionel Hampton, Jack McDuff, Billie Holiday, Sonny Rollins, and a long partnership with Sonny Stitt. "Holloway on tenor sax was in splendid form, voluptuous in the ballads, agile in bop, and his hard swinging work on the calypso was one of the festival's peak points."-Variety.

John Proulx
Friday, April 30 | 6:00 pm
The jazz scene is abuzz about young singer/pianist/composer John Proulx. His piano playing is hot and swinging, and his voice recalls the smooth, mellow sounds of a young Chet Baker. John's latest CD, Baker's Dozen-Remembering Chet Baker, is a tribute to the late trumpet player and vocalist. "Proulx is front and center, overflowing with fresh zeal and sparkling energy."-Jazz Times.
