Calling all cool cats to head to the Center for the Arts for a swinging evening of jazz with Northern Virginia’s own Metropolitan Jazz Orchestra, featuring keyboardist/organist Bobby Floyd on the Hammond organ and led by Founder, Artistic Director, and virtuoso saxophonist Jim Carroll. Never heard an organ in a jazz performance? Get ready! The organ has played a distinctive, albeit niche, part of jazz since the early days, and under Floyd’s gifted fingers, you’ll never think of the instrument in quite the same light again. Floyd’s long and illustrious career as a jazz keyboardist/organist has led him to tour with Ray Charles, Rusty Bryant, Jeff Tyzik, Chris Howes, Byron Stripling, and Sarah Morrow. In addition to playing in his hometown with the Columbus Jazz Orchestra, the Columbus Symphony, and ProMusica Chamber Orchestra, he has traveled the continent, performing as a featured soloist with the Rochester Philharmonic, Vancouver Symphony, Edmonton Symphony, Detroit Symphony, and many others. Don’t miss this signature event including some of the most remarkable jazz musicians in the metro region.
The Center for the Arts at George Mason University announced today its 2022/2023 season of mainstage performances, featuring a diverse lineup of artists and ensembles across many genres, as part of Great Performances at Mason and the Family Series.
