Along with the Grace Kelly Quintet, Kelly and Woods will perform selections from their saxophone duet album, “Man with the Hat.” This is Kelly’s sixth release since she was 12 years old. Now 20, she has been praised by jazz trumpeter Wynton Marsalis as having “intelligence, wit and feeling.” Woods, age 80, is a veteran jazz musician who received the 2011 Jazz Legacy Award from the Mid-Atlantic Arts Foundation (MAAF). This performance is supported in part by the Jazz Touring Network, a program of MAAF, with support from the National Endowment for the Arts.
Tickets are $34.50 for adults and $19.50 for children. For information or tickets, www.bloomu.edu/CAS or call (570) 389-4409.
