Events Concert for a Cause: John Stowell and Draa Hobbs in Concert

Fresh off his European tour, Internationally recognized jazz guitarist John Stowell is joined by New England based jazz guitarist Draa Hobbs performing jazz standards and classic compositions by Duke Ellington, Billy Strayhorn, Dave Brubeck, and others in an intimate duo setting.

In addition to their two-guitar improvisations on familiar songs, a unique feature or their shows is the presentation of obscure but beautiful Brazilian works by Antonio Carlos Jobim. Jobim wrote over 400 compositions; but Americans have listened to the same half dozen repeatedly.

Concert to benefit Twin Pines Housing.
