The Dixie Center for the Arts and Gnemi Financial Strategies are proud to present a much requested jazz event. On September 9 at 7:00 pm, the gypsy jazz sounds of the John Jorgensen Quintet will fill the Dixie stage. This event is the first event of the 2008-2009 Dixie Season.

The John Jorgenson Quintet features guitarist John Jorgenson, a founding member of the Desert Rose Band (five #1 hits), the Hellecasters (3 award winning CD's and video), and six-year member of Elton John's band. Artists such as Barbra Streisand, Sting, Billy Joel, Bonnie Raitt, and Earl Scruggs have sought out Jorgenson's guitar work. Recently, John Jorgenson was chosen to portray Django Reinhardt in the feature film Head in the Clouds.

Jeremy Davis and the Fabulous Equinox Jazz Orchestra

 

Jeremy Davis and the Fabulous Equinox Jazz Orchestra will kick off the fall season for the Ruston Civic Symphony Society at the Dixie Center for the Arts on Saturday, November 1, at 7:30pm. If you love big band music, then this group is a "must hear"! Since Jeremy, a West Monroe native, and several of the band members are Tech alumni, we are pleased to present this program as a finishing touch to Homecoming Weekend activities at Tech. The show will feature 17 amazing jazz musicians from Louisiana, Texas, and Georgia, including vocalists, Clay Johnson and Adam Jones, singing Sinatra-style vocals plus their own renditions. It will be an evening of great entertainment featuring the music of Mercer, Connick, Miller, Ellington, Basie, Sinatra, and Bennett. For a closer look at EJO, go to www.equinoxjazz.com. The dance floor down front will be open, so be sure to wear your dancing slippers!!  (Jazz Equinox website)

Sponsors are Sundown, Ponchatoulas, Log Cabin, and Piney Hills Music.
