Sammons Jazz closes its fall season with a historic performance featuring the current and previous Sammons Jazz artistic directors — Arlington Jones on piano, Vicho Vicencio on saxophone and flute, Roger Boykin on guitar and woodwinds, and James Gilyard on bass — along with special guest, drummer Andrew Griffith. The concert is a special live recording to inaugurate the upcoming 30th anniversary of the Sammons Center for the Arts, the nonprofit performing arts center which opened in 1988 after extensive renovations of the landmark Turtle Creek Pump Station.
