In just a few short years she has become a bona fide jazz star with critically acclaimed recordings and packed concert halls worldwide.

Speak easy. The police are watching!” warned one Pittsburgh newspaper when describing speakeasies\, the illicit\, hole-in-the-wall\, unlicensed bars that sprang up in many of America’s big cities during prohibition. Bathtub gin flowed\, flappers danced the Charleston\, and the hot jazz of Duke Ellington and Bix Beiderbecke filled the air. The Columbus Jazz Orchestra recalls the roaring ‘20s and its impact on jazz and popular culture with a concert featuring 24-year old rising star trumpeter/composer Tony Glausi and veteran xylophone wizard Ian Finkel. \nTony Glausi has already established himself as an accomplished and award-winning trumpeter\, keyboardist\, composer and producer\, crafting works for small and large jazz ensembles\, pop and hip hop groups\, and independent film and television projects. He has appeared on over 25 recordings including six of his own music. Glausi makes his Columbus Jazz Orchestra debut with Speakeasy Hot Jazz. \nIan Finkel has been called the world’s greatest xylophone virtuoso. He has appeared with and written for such stars as Michael Feinstein\, Sid Caesar\, Ginger Rogers\, Tito Puente\, Larry Gatlin\, Martin Mull\, and Madeline Kahn to name just a few. Finkel has also appeared Off-Broadway\, on numerous television programs\, collaborated with Philip Glass and has heard his works performed by numerous orchestras such as the American Symphony Orchestra and the Little Orchestra Society. \nThere’s a reason the 1920s were hailed “The Jazz Age.” An article in the August 1921 edition of The Ladies’ Home Journal posed the question\, “Does Jazz Put the Sin in Syncopation?” The CJO intends to find out with Speakeasy Hot Jazz.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row] URL:https://www.jazzartsgroup.org/event/speakeasy-hot-jazz/2020-03-12/ LOCATION:Southern Theatre\, 21 E.

She is also a recipient of the Martin E. Segal Award from Jazz at Lincoln Center and a double recipient of the Altazor Award\, Chile’s prestigious national arts prize. \nBorn in Santiago\, Aldana began playing saxophone at age six under the tutelage of her saxophonist father\, Marcos Aldana. Her first saxophone\, an alto\, had belonged to her grandfather. Early influences were Charlie Parker\, Cannonball Adderley and Michael Brecker. But after hearing the music of the great tenor saxophonist Sonny Rollins\, Aldana switched to tenor sax. \nIn her early teens\, Melissa began performing in jazz clubs in her native Chile where a chance meeting with pianist Danilo Perez led to an invitation to perform at the Panama Jazz Festival and led to a number of auditions at music schools in the U.S. Aldana would ultimately attend and graduate from the Berklee College of Music in Boston. Since relocating to New York City\, Melissa has made several critically acclaimed recordings and now tours extensively as a headliner at jazz clubs and music festivals internationally. \nHoward Reich of the Chicago Tribune recently reviewed an Aldana performance and wrote\, “Aldana stands as an irrepressibly creative phrase-maker\, sidestepping cliché at almost every turn. It takes a certain amount of intellectual engagement to appreciate how much content and musical substance Aldana pours into every solo. The closer you listen\, the deeper the reward.” And Jazz Times Magazine stated boldly: “Melissa Aldana is going to be an influential tenor saxophonist in jazz for decades to come.” \n\nTickets: $20 per person | $10 students (plus a $1.50 per ticket CAPA facility fee)\nFour-Concert Packages on sale now at the CBUSArts Ticket Center (39 East State Street).
