20th Annual Provincetown Jazz Festival

Monday, August 5, at 7:30pm. Enjoy a night with Cassandre McKinley and the Cape Cod Jazz Quartet. Cassandre McKinley is an Associate Professor in the Voice Department at the Berklee College of Music and is best known for her voluminous voice, spirited emotional performances and a presence on stage that is exuberant, passionate, yet warm and disarming. Cassandre has shared the stage with Jay Geils (J. Geils Band), Dick Johnson (leader of the Artie Shaw Band), Bernard “Pretty” Purdie, Jerry Portnoy (Eric Clapton, Muddy Waters), Peter Eldridge (New York Voices), and many more. She has toured and performed in venues across the country and her music has been heard on national and international radio stations. Cassandre found worldwide recognition with her jazz album “Til Tomorrow - Remembering Marvin Gaye” and Jazztimes Magazine hailed the work as “a rich and sensual salute.” Cassandre will be accompanied by Cape Cod Jazz Quartet’s Steve Ahern on trumpet & flute, Fred Boyle on piano, Ron Ormsby on bass, and Bart Weisman on drums. The Cape Cod Jazz Quartet will open the concert and celebrate the 65th anniversary of “Kind of Blue” by Miles Davis, the 1959 recording, regarded by many critics as the greatest jazz recording. You do not want to miss another year of great jazz. $35. For tickets visit www.cultural-center.org or call 508-394-7100. Cultural Center of Cape Cod, 307 Old Main St., South Yarmouth.
