Sat, Feb 1 @ 6PM
Bethany Baptist Church
Free Jazz!

The Bethany Baptist Church of Newark celebrates 25 years of monthly Jazz Vespers! Join us at Bethany Baptist for this free concert combining jazz music and worship.

February’s featured artist is Sheila Jordan. At age 93, the jazz vocalist is renowned as a pioneer of bebop and scat singing. “Whether singing well-known standards or original material, she makes it all sound like no one else,” the National Endowment for the Arts says about the Jazz Master.

Double bassist Harvie S will join her with his “tasty, melodic playing” (Arts Fuse), alongside “limber and inventive guitarist” (The Village Voice) Roni Ben-Hur and drummer Billy Drummond, who “command[s] the attention of a room without saying a word” (JazzTimes).
