Jazz Vespers with Russell Ferrante, on Sunday, March 12, 5:00 p.m. on the Chancel.
All Saints Parishioner and founding member of the Yellowjackets, Russell Ferrante’s first exposure to music came from his church, where his father was the choir director as well as being a frequent vocal soloist and having a vocal gospel quartet. He began piano lessons at 9 with the expectation that one day he would be the church pianist… but his musical interests took him elsewhere. Russ has performed with Jimmy Witherspoon, Jim Pepper, Joe Farrell, Joni Mitchell, Bobby McFerrin, Robben Ford, Al Jarreau, Marilyn Scott, Kevyn Lettau, Ernie Watts, Sadao Watanabe, GRP, Big Band, Lee Ritenour, Tom Scott, Take 6, Michael Franks, Eric Marienthal, and Brenda Russell. Russell currently teaches in the Jazz Studies department at USC.
Russ will be joined by Steve Schaffer on drums and Michael Valerio on bass. Validated parking is available at Plaza las Fuentes. There is no charge. No reservations required. Info = jazz@allsaints-pas.org.
