Kerrytown Concert House presents: Delfeayo Marsalis
June 24th

Delfeayo Marsalis, a National Endowment for the Arts Jazz Master, returns to Ann Arbor to perform original arrangements of the classic Duke Ellington Such Sweet Thunder suite.
One of the top trombonists, composers and producers of jazz today, Delfeayo Marsalis is known for his "technical excellence, inventive mind and frequent touches of humor..." (Leonard Feather, Los Angeles Times), he is"...one of the best, most imaginative and musical of the trombonists of his generation." (Philip Elwood, San Francisco Examiner.) In January 2011, Delfeayo and the Marsalis family (father Ellis and brothers Branford, Wynton and Jason) earned the nation's highest jaz honor - a National Endowment for the Arts Jazz Masters Award.
Kerrytown Concert House presents: 16th Annual Edgefest
October 31st - November 3rd
7:00pm & 9:30pm
The 16th annual Edgefest will explore new music created by today's American improvisers and composers who now, more than ever, are reaching back to multiple artistic roots, reflecting a growing awareness of the cultural complexity of contemporary American society. The accumulations of different origins, ethnic and cultural backgrounds, filtered by contemporary, uniquely American experiences, have produced a cornucopia of new music; a blending of improvisational-avant jazz with the composers' own-often multiple-artistic/cultural roots.
In the tradtion of Edgefest the roster includes international musicians as well as performers and ensembles from our home community of Southeast Michigan and showcases some of the most celebrated and creative multi-instrumentalists on the scene today.
