Swaim, Abshire, and Langosch
With an intimate setting of candlelit tables, the Friday Night Jazz Club, featuring some of the Mid-Atlantic region’s most seasoned artists, the series continues on April 29 at Easton’s historic Waterfowl Building and concludes on May 27. Performances begin at 7 p.m. and are presented by Jazz Alive, a charitable foundation based in Talbot County.
The April 29 performance features three giants of the DC area jazz scene: saxophonist Bruce Swaim, guitarist Steve Abshire and bassist Paul Langosch. Swaim has earned two Wammy Awards for Jazz Instrumentalist of the Year from the Washington Area Music Association and has worked with such notables as Keter Betts, Carl Allen, Danny Gatton and Rosemary Clooney. Jazz Alive concertgoers will recognize Abshire and Langosch from their stellar performances during last year’s summer concert series— Abshire as part of the Great Guitars and Langosch as part of the trio with harmonica player Hendrik Meurkens and guitarist Paul Bollenback.
The Waterfowl Building is at 40 S. Harrison St. Tickets are $28 and available at jazz-alive.org or at the door the day of the event. Students attend free with a Student ID. A cash bar will be available. Proceeds from ticket and concession sales support Jazz Alive’s mission of providing educational support in developing future artists and preserving this great art form through school and community programs.
