About This Event
Celebrate the heritage of a great music scene with this live-music event honoring some of Minnesota’s most notable jazz legends, hosted by Jazz88 host and award-winning vocalist Patty Peterson.
In partnership with Jazz88, Patty reminisces with these Twin Cities jazz legends, who have achieved local and national acclaim. ‘Minnesota Jazz Legends’ is a series honoring the pioneers of Minnesota’s jazz scene through annual concerts and radio specials. This event will include live performances and interviews.
This year’s honorees are saxophonist/clarinetist and music educator, Brian Grivna, pianist/arranger Mikkel Romstad, internationally known cardiologist, saxophonist, clarinetist and practitioner of New Orleans Jazz, Dr. Henry Blackburn, and award winning jazz vocalist and educator, the late Roberta Davis.
These Jazz Legends will perform music they love and talk about how their individual journeys have become a part of the musical history of Minnesota. The legends are accompanied by the Phil Aaron Trio, featuring pianist Phil Aaron, bassist Graydon Peterson, and drummer Phil Hey.
This production of Minnesota Jazz Legends is made possible through funding provided by the Minnesota Legacy Amendment Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.
