The Pittsburgh Jazz Orchestra Holiday Concert - featuring Sean Jones with special guest Rene Marie
BNY Mellon presents JazzLive Series
Celebrate the season with holiday classics performed by the Pittsburgh Jazz Orchestra, featuring Sean Jones on trumpet, with special guest vocalist, Reńe Marie in the intimate Greer Cabaret Theater.
In a span of two decades, 11 recordings, and countless stage performances, vocalist René Marie has cemented her reputation as not only a singer, but also a composer, arranger, theatrical performer, and teacher. She borrows various elements of folk, R&B, and even classical and country to create a captivating hybrid style.
Music and spirituality have always been fully intertwined in the artistic vision of trumpeter, bandleader, composer, educator, activist and Pittsburgh favorite, Sean Jones—a musical chameleon, comfortable in any musical setting no matter what the role or the genre. His celebrated career has included projects with some of the greatest performers in jazz.
Founded more than 40 years ago by the late educator and saxophonist Nathan Davis, the Pittsburgh Jazz Orchestra is an interracial, inter-generational group representing Pittsburgh’s finest jazz musicians.
