You are cordially invited to attend a fun evening of traditional jazz music featuring the Sarah Morrow Quartet at the acoustically rich Rockport Art Association, May 12th.

The evening will be hosted by Eric Jackson, WGBH Radio Jazz Host of Eric in the Evening, Boston's leading jazz radio personality. Concert start time: 8:00 PM.

Trombonist Sarah Morrow, an American living in Paris (lead member of the American Allstars in Paris), will visit Rockport for an evening concert coming from her appearance at the Mary Lou Williams, Woman in Jazz Festival, at the Washington DC Kennedy Center. She will be joined by band members Bobby Floyd - piano, Peter Giron - bass, and Steve Williams - drummer of late jazz vocalist Shirley Horn.

Sarah Morrow holds the distinction of having been the first woman instrumentalist to tour with the Ray Charles Orchestra. She has also worked with artist such as Dee Dee Bridgewater, David Murray and French vocalist Anne Ducros as well as appearing at Jazz in Marciac, the Nice Jazz Festival, Paris JVC Jazz Festival, and the Strasbourgh Music Festival. Last October, Sarah received the 2005 Guinness Cork Jazz Festival Rising Star Award.

This is a first for the town of Rockport for what promises to be a wonderful spring event. I hope you'll join us in our charming seaside town for this special musical evening.

We have reserved a limited number of rooms for our friends at the lovely Linden Tree Inn Bed and Breakfast (famous for their scones) with special savings for our guest. Enjoy a relaxing and delicious dinner, one night room and board, evening concert and reception with the artist. The evening package price: $175/person double occupancy and $200/person single occupancy.
