Join us at Bethany Baptist for this free concert combining jazz music and worship. \n\n\n\nJanuary’s featured artists are the “musical power couple” (New York Times) Adegoke Steve Colson and Iqua Colson. Despite their international acclaim\, the composer-pianist and vocalist-composer are deeply rooted in New Jersey\, and have played an integral role in advancing jazz education across the state. This is a particularly meaningful return to the Bethany Baptist stage for Adegoke\, who led the first Jazz Vespers ensemble at the inaugural concert 25 years ago. JazzTimes says the Colsons’ music “…draws you in with gaiety and swing and then hits you with more substance that you’d bargained for…Sharp ears\, spot-on improvisational acumen and impeccable musical intelligence are the order of the day.” URL:https://gregoryburrusproductions.com/event/adegoke-steve-colson-and-iqua-colson-bethany-baptist/ LOCATION:Bethany Baptist Church\, 275 West Market Street\, Newark\, New Jersey\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://gregoryburrusproductions.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Steve-Colson2-2025-01-02-123328.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20240822T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20240822T190000 DTSTAMP:20240803T170717Z CREATED:20240708T203623Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240803T170717Z UID:10000712-1724346000-1724353200@gregoryburrusproductions.com SUMMARY:Carlos Frias and Circulo Social in Phillips Park\, Newark for NJPAC DESCRIPTION:Daniela Palacias and Carlos Frias and Circulo Social in Phillips Park\, Newark for @NJPAC and njpac.org/parks. \n\n\n\n\n\nWhile we groove to the sounds of Latin jazz band Carlos Frias and Circulo Social\, Daniela Palacios\, founder of Para KIDS!\, will lead a Spanish and English bilingual children’s workshop and storytime!
