Rebecca_ParrisJULY & AUGUST SCHEDULE

“Boston’s First Lady of Jazz” Rebecca Parris returns to Maudslay Arts Center (MAC) by popular demand this Saturday evening, July 7, at 7 p.m. to open the Saturday evening concert series. MAC is located at 95 Curzon Mill Road, Newburyport.  Opening the Sunday family concert series on Sunday, July 8, at 2 p.m. is The Shaw Brothers. (Complete schedule below)

 

Parris has performed all over the world with her own groups, as well as with some of jazz's greatest legends, including Dizzy Gillespie, Buddy Rich, Woody Herman, Terry Gibbs, David "Fathead" Newman, Norman Simmons. Harold Jones, Andy Simpkins, Gerry Wiggins, Bill Cunliffe, Red Mitchell, Buster Cooper, Nat Pierce, and many others.

“Rebecca's vocal sound is mature and immensely satisfying,” wrote Bruce Crowther of Jazz Journal International. “She delivers lyrics with care and affection, with wit and flair, and her phrasing is exemplary.”

Then come back to Maudslay Arts Center on Sunday, July 8, at 2 p.m. for The Shaw Brothers. World renowned for “I’d Like to Teach the World to Sing,” The Shaw Brothers serve up their unique blend of traditional and contemporary music interspersed with humor, poems, and stories.
