Jazz
The 2nd Line Jazz Quartet puts a fresh spin on the Great American Songbook.
Vocalist Sue Lopes was educated at the Hartford Conservatory. She
has thrilled crowds from Hartford to New Orleans over the past 15 years
with her distinctive, polished renditions of the jazz canon. Double
bassist Jim Daggs has performed professionally since the age of sixteen,
after learning the art of jazz bass from his luminary father, Richard
Daggs. Jim has appeared on stages with Maynard Ferguson, Stefon Harris,
and Tony Zano. Drummer Josh Briley brings the insights of Berklee greats
Neil Smith and Kenwood Dennard, yet his musical and personal roots
incorporate the energy of New Orleans. Pianist and composer Jerry
Aiyathurai adds a formal touch, drawing on his eight years with the
ABRSM program of the Royal College of Music (London) to provide musical
direction to the ensemble.
It's a Special Date Night!
