Returning from a 2-year hiatus for large crowds the Savannah Jazz Orchestra returns to celebrate Duke Ellington’s Birthday. With special guests, Priscilla Albergottie Williams on vocals and Stan Wilkerson on Trombone the Lowcountry’s premier jazz orchestra is ready to swing again.

“One of the greatest charges we have as an organization is the leadership of the amazing 18-piece Savannah Jazz Orchestra. Co-lead by Teddy Adams and Randall Reese, we are excited to get this act back on a big stage in front of a full audience after two years of streaming during the pandemic,” explains Savannah Jazz Executive Director, Paula Fogarty.

This show is part of Savannah Jazz’s monthly concert series and is free for members. Guests only pay $35 to attend in the ballroom on the Westin Savannah Harbor Golf and Spa Resort.

Fogarty adds, “We are thrilled to partner with the Westin Savannah Harbor for this and more shows in the future. Our guests will not only enjoy the ample ballroom space but also fine dining options after the show and great views of the river for pre and post show refreshments.”

Tickets are $30 online at www.savannahjazz.org. Memberships are available at www.savannahjazz.org/memberships and the benefits include many free concerts and special discounts to all events throughout the year.
