Continuum – A Journey Through Jazz
Episode 8: The Spoleto Festival USA
This week our journey through jazz takes us to the lovely city of Charleston, South Carolina where they are currently hosting one of the foremost International Arts Festivals in the world; The Spoleto Festival USA.
To give you a taste of some of the jazz offerings at this year’s festival you’ll hear from Brazilian clarinetist Nailor “Proveta” Azevedo, Polish Jazz pianist Leszek Mozdzer, the beautiful vocal stylings of Atlanta’s own Lizz Wright, Brazilian singer Fabiana Cozza – who will be making her US debut at the Festival this week – and Grammy nominated guitarist Julian Lage. For more details on all the many events taking place covering every discipline within the arts, please visit www.spoletousa.org.
We’ll also showcase some of the international Jazz legends performing as part of the City of Charleston’s adjacent festival – Piccolo Spoleto – such as Ellis Marsalis, Slide Hampton, Jimmy Heath, and Houston Person.
