When: August 2, 2017
Where:Wellfleet Preservation Hall
Time:7:30 PM
Description:
    Straight Saxophones, Straight Ahead Jazz
On Wednesday, August 2nd at 7:30PM - a concert featuring the rare straight saxophones at Wellfleet Preservation Hall!

A greater percentage of saxophones were sold in the Jazz Age of the 1920s than of guitars in the Rock Era of the 1960s. To satisfy this overwhelming interest, manufacturers evolved the sax into different shapes to produce yet another palette of tonal characteristics. Although popular in the 1920s, the production of straight saxes halted during the Great Depression. But recently, they have started to make a comeback!

Join Berklee Professor Berke McKelvey (Glenn Miller Orchestra, Gladys Knight, Chandler Travis Philharmonic) and Wellfleet native and Berklee graduate Nicholas Suchecki (Martha Reeves, Ronnie Spector, Chris Botti, Cape Cod Symphony, Newport Folk Festival) for a night of jazz, Latin, originals, and surprises as they showcase the rare straight alto sax and the even rarer straight tenor sax!
