Southampton Arts Center and Hamptons Jazz Fest present Jon Irabagon for an evening of jazz and cocktails on May 20. Mix and mingle with musicians at 6 PM during the social hour with bar service. The concert will begin at 7 PM and tables are first come, first serve.
First-generation Filipino-American Jon Irabagon has been influenced by the self-empowering and individualistic philosophies and aesthetic of the great AACM (Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians) ensembles as well as the historic world-class tenor saxophone lineage from his hometown. Equally adept at composing for rising stars in new music and the most intricate modern jazz ensemble, Irabagon builds on this foundation by adding modern classical and late-period John Coltrane to his compositional base, focusing primarily on mixed chamber ensembles to take advantage of hand-chosen musicians’ voices and attitudes.
Doors open at 6 PM for the social hour. The concert begins at 7 PM. A cash bar will be available.
