Daily Grind JazzFest

Rob Zappulla is known as “the man keeping the spirit of the Big Band alive.” Since 2001, Rob has been the vocalist with the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra, appearing everywhere around the world and nearest to us - the 2005 Inaugural Ball. (Think Frank Sinatra!) Check out JazzFest’s featured headliner at robzappulla.com for just a taste of his mellow sound!

Zappulla will appear with the Shenandoah Jazz Ensemble, directed by Bryan Kidd. SU’s Jazz Ensemble is noted across the country for its repertoire and excellence! Along with Rob and the SU Jazz Ensemble, the DAILY GRIND JAZZFEST will include – back by popular demand – the area’s own Louberta Weatherton singing jazz and blues accompanied by Bernadine Rollins, noted area pianist. Completing the guest list are the award-winning jazz ensembles from Handley and Sherando high schools. A pre-show surprise act will begin at 12:30 when the doors to the DAILY GRIND JAZZFEST open at the Rock Harbor Tent.

DAILY GRIND’s JAZZFEST is a great way to round out your “bloom experience” – from 1 p.m. till 4 p.m. on Sunday, May 4. Come dance, come listen, or just come snap your fingers!
