I’m a jazz junkie, that being said, I can never find enough jazz in this city to get my proper fix. Well, Varanese intends to fix my fix.
Local Jazz great and music teacher Jeff Sherman along his students will be performing at Varanese (2106 Frankfort Avenue) on April 21st at 7:00 PM. The show is an end of the semester performance where Sherman can show off to the public his legion of musical protégés. The skill level of the students will range from intermediate to professional, the group of about 30 perfomrers will be comprised mostly of guitar, bass, drums and singers; and they will be divided into 5 smaller ensembles: two "mainstream" ensembles, two jazz guitar ensembles, and one classical guitar ensemble; each group will perform 6-8 songs.
Sherman has been teaching music since 1966, and has performed on-stage and in the studio with legends like Marvin Gaye, Ella Fitzgerald, and Sarah Vaughn.
