Calling all

jazz afficionados!

Spivey Hall,

on the campus of Clayton College and State University, will be the setting

for the Atlanta Jazz Showcase, Sunday, July 29 at 5 p.m.

The emcees

of the event are WABE's H. Johnson, who has been hosting the show "Jazz

Classics" for over 20 years, and WCLK's Carl Anthony. Both men are

among the most popular jazz personalities in the area.

The show will

feature pianists Gary Motley and Bill Anschell, vocalist Audrey Shakir,

tenor saxophonists Kebbi Wiliams and Rick Bell, alto saxophonist Joe Jennings,

guitarist Mike Kelly, trumpeter Lester Walker, bassists Rodney Jordan

and Sonny Harris and drummers Keith Runfola and Tommy Cecil.

There will

be two halves to the show. Each half will be hosted by a piano trio, first

Anschell's, then Motley's, which will play a tune and then serve as the

backing group for each of the soloists, who will perform two songs apiece.

This is not

a jam session, but a rehearsed concert. The music is straight ahead jazz,

not jazz flavors, and offers a look at the strength and diversity of the

Atlanta jazz scene.

Tickets are

$15. Phone 770-961-3683.
