The Standards of George Gershwin

Nocturne Jazz and Supper Club hosts a special August series that pays tribute to one of America's greatest composers of all time, George Gershwin. Born in Brooklyn, New York in 1898 George was a scrappy and incredibly talented musician who would become America's most well known composer of the time. Known for popular stage and screen numbers as well as serious classical and opera compositions, a number of Gershwin's works would go on to become important staples in the straight ahead "jazz standard" repertoire. Performing this iconic repertoire will be a Denver-based jazz musicians Tom Amend on piano, Patrick McDevitt on bass, Gabriel Mervine on trumpet and Alejandro Castaño on drums. During this time of limited indoor capacity, floor seats are only available by reservation as we are limited to 50 seats per show/seating. [Organizer's description]
