Sammons Jazz kicks off its fall 2017 season with a two-set tribute to Texas jazz legends Red Garland, “Hot Lips” Page, Marchel Ivery, and James Clay. Sammons Jazz Artistic Director and Steinway Artist Arlington Jones leads an outstanding ensemble that includes current Texas Tenors Quamon Fowler, Keith Anderson, and Jason Davis, vocalist Garry Williams, bassist James Driscoll, and drummer Andrew Griffith. The group also performs the historic “Dallas Blues,” a blues standard written in 1912 but often performed in a jazz style.
