Arts & Jazz Festival
A day not to be missed at The Freeman Stage at Bayside! Stroll the green and enjoy previewing the artwork of Delmarva’s finest artists. Pull up a chair and groove to some of the most talented jazz artists to ever play at the shore — Joe Baione and Melissa Aldana.
Taking the Stage at 12pm, Joe Baione has a passion for all things jazz. While he is making his mark on the jazz scene with his powerful and energetic performances in the vibes, he is also ensuring the future of jazz through his teaching and producing projects that make jazz more accessible in his community. Baione has won several awards including "Teacher of the Year," in 2003, "Emerging Jazz Artist, " in 2005 by Philidelphia Weekly and "Rising Star of Tomorrow," by Jazz at Lincoln Center.
Taking the stage after Joe, acclaimed tenor saxophonist Melissa Aldana follows up her 2014 Concord release “Melissa Aldana & Crash Trio” with the explorative and deeply swinging “Back Home,” this time released on the Wommusic label. Pablo Menares, Aldana’s fellow native of Santiago, Chile, is again on bass. On drums is the in-demand Jochen Rueckert, bringing a supple and unpredictable rhythmic élan to the session. These three musicians turn on a dime and project an uncommonly full orchestral sound, rich in spiritual intensity, all in the absence of a harmony instrument. The show is sponsored by the Mid-Atlantic Arts Foundation. This performance will feature a post- performance discussion with the artist.
