The inaugural

series will kick off on Saturday, August 9 at 8 p.m., with Grammy winner

Lou Rawls. Praised by Frank Sinatra as having "the classiest singing

and silkiest chops in the singing game," Rawls has crooned such hits

as "At Last," "Fine Brown Frame," and "Room With

A View" over the years. 2002 Jazz Vocalist of the Year, Carol Welsman,

will headline the second show on Saturday, September 6. Carol just released

"The Language of Love" CD in the United States and is praised

for her contemporary interpretation of jazz and her own original material.

Carol has wooed audiences around the world with "Swing Ladies Swing,"

"Lucky To Be Me," and "A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square."

On October 11, one of the most famous instrumental ensembles will conclude

the series with a mixture of various jazz, fusion, and R&B elements

into a sound uniquely their own. Spyro Gyra celebrates twenty-five years

of hits such as "Morning Dance," "Feelin' Fine," and

"Your Touch" which showcase the group's spirit of improvisation

that draws upon the jazz tradition.
