    The Pikes Peak Jazz and Swing Society presents the Bruce Pennington Quartet for their Second Sunday Jazz Affair on November 11 from 2 to 5 p.m. at the Olympian Plaza Event Center, 975 South Union Boulevard in Colorado Springs. The Pennington Quartet is composed of local professional musicians John Flores, bassist, Stefan Flores, drums; Butch Eversole, saxophone and Bruce on piano. The Pennington repertoire is mainly based on the great American songs of the Tin Pan Alley days and composers of that tradition. Bruce likes to add a bit of spice by including selections from the golden age of big bands, jazz standards, music from Walt Disney movies, childrenÂ’s music, and occasionally pop music from the 60Â’s and on. One highlight of the afternoon will be the introduction and performance of the winner of the high school jazz vocalist workshop and competition sponsored by the Alice Fund and the Pikes Peak Jazz And Swing Society. The workshop/competition is intended to encourage area high school students to pursue their vocal jazz training through the workshop and a cash prize of $500. The award is named in honor of Colorado SpringsÂ’ First Lady of Song, the late Alice Cardozo. A jam set is also planned for area musicians.
