    Jazz returns to the Fine Arts Center! Five jazz artists unite for a one night only performance of musical elegance and jazz at its best.

    Denver pianist Billy Wallace got his extraordinary chops during the vibrant years of jazz in Chicago and on 52nd Street in New York. In Chicago, Billy played and recorded with artists such as Illinois Jacquet, Von Freeman, Billy Mitchell and Charlie Parker (Parker's last night in Chicago). In New York, Billy worked with Clifford Brown, Max Roach (recording the exceptional "In 3/4 Time") and accompanied singers such as Billie Holiday, Carmen McRae, Anita O'Day, Johnny Hartman, Arthur Prysock and Lou Rawls. Billy Wallace has toured Europe and Japan, and enriched the jazz scenes in Seattle, Las Vegas and now Denver. He is a gifted jazz pianist utilizing unique, beautiful harmonies and a vast repertoire.

    Wallace is joined by Randy Sandke on trumpet, saxophonist Noel Jewkes, with Michael Barnett and Mel Brown on bass and drums.
