Jazz at Holmes presenting summer concert series

Washington University's Jazz at Holmes concert series, which presents free jazz concerts in the University's Holmes Lounge during the school year, is also sponsoring a series of free shows this summer.

Pianist Curt Landes and guitarist/bassist/vocalist Vince Martin will perform from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. this coming Thursday, July 19, followed by the Randy Holmes Quartet on July 26, singer Tony Viviano and pianist Ptah Williams on August 2, and the Todd Mosby Group on August 9.

All concerts are free and open to the public and take place in Holmes Lounge, Ridgley Hall, except for the August 9 concert, which will be in Brookings Quadrangle.

(Note: The series actually started this past Thursday, July 12 with a show by Willie Akins. However, StLJN didn't receive notice of the concerts from Wash U until late Thursday night, when a news release Google Alert containing a University news release dated that morning arrived via email. While I'd hope to be able to offer information on future University events in advance, that depends largely on their ability and willingness, or lack of same, to distribute that information on a timely basis.)
