The Jazz at Holmes series at Washington University has announced its schedule of free concerts for fall 2010.
The series begins this Thursday, September 9, with an outdoor performance in Brookings Quadrangle by the St. Louis Nu-Jazz Quintet, which includes trumpeter Randy Holmes, saxophonist Jason Swagler, guitarist Eric Slaughter, bassist Jeff Anderson, and drummer Miles Vandiver.
This fall's Jazz at Holmes series also will feature the St. Louis debut of the German-born, Zurich-based saxophonist Nicole Johänntgen (pictured), who will perform on Thursday, October 7. Based on the clips found on her MySpace and YouTube pages, Johänntgen seems to work mostly in a funk/fusion style. (Meanwhile, her promo pics suggest she's going for a slice of Candy Dulfer's audience. Not that there's anything wrong with that...)
