Jazz Appreciation Month Concert

Join us as we celebrate Jazz Appreciation Month with From New Orleans to Now — a live concert with The Eric Byrd Trio tracing the remarkable journey of America’s original art form.

The proceeds from this concert will go to the Frederick Jazz Society, a nonprofit whose mission is to advocate, educate, present, and promote jazz in Frederick County and beyond.

From the joyful syncopations of early New Orleans jazz and the fiery swing of the big band era to the soulful explorations of bebop, cool jazz, and the expressive freedom of modern improvisation, this performance honors the innovators who shaped the soundtrack of the 20th century and continue to inspire today’s musicians.

Featuring masterful performances by The Eric Byrd Trio and special guests, the concert will blend history and performance, weaving together stories of legends like Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, and John Coltrane with the vibrant sounds of live jazz in every style.

This show is part of our New Spire Arts programming. New Spire Stages, located in the heart of Downtown Frederick, MD, provides an intimate setting for a memorable concert experience.
