Part of The Sheldon's Coffee Concert series
Celebrate the golden age of West Coast cool and Brazilian bossa nova with three of St. Louis’s brightest stars: trumpeter and vocalist Dawn Weber, bassist-singer Janet Evra, and pianist-arranger Kara Baldus. This stylish program pays tribute to the sunny sounds of the 1960s, from breezy jazz and swing to the lush rhythms of Jobim and Gilberto. It’s a joyful, elegant throwback to a time of effortless groove, unforgettable melodies, and timeless sophistication.
Enjoy complimentary coffee and pastries at 9 a.m. in the Konneker room, just before these one-hour concerts at 10 a.m. in the historic Sheldon Concert Hall.
