Texas Tenors
January 30 & 31, 8 p.m., Conference Center

The School of Arts & Humanities and the City of Richardson join forces to present a high-quality two-day jazz festival, centered on the historical elements of jazz in the Dallas area.  The “Texas Tenor” style of saxophone playing describes a player with a very “big” sound playing a somewhat blues-oriented style.  Buster Smith is said to have pioneered the style by playing his tenor with a baritone sax reed, thereby giving him a bigger sound.  Texas saxophonists associated with the “Texas Tenor Sound” include Buster Smith, David “Fathead” Newman*, James Clay, Booker Ervin, John Hardee, King Curtis, Illinois Jacquet, Arnett Cobb and Marchel Ivery.  More information

  • The Woody Herman Orchestra, directed by Frank Tiberi, headlines the Friday night concert. Local favorite, the Texas Instruments Jazz Band, directed by Paul Westbrook, entertains the audience with a pre-show concert at 7:30.
  • Saturday night features young local Texas tenor saxophonist Quamon Fowler opening for James "Red" Holloway.

* UPDATE: David Newman will not be performing. James "Red" Holloway will now be headlining Saturday's concert.
