St. Louis Jazz and Blues Vespers feature the Steve Schenkel Quartet with jazz vocalist Ashley Mason on Sunday, April 19 at 6:00 p.m. in the Sanctuary of the Beatitudes of Second Baptist Church of St. Louis. The acoustically excellent sanctuary is located 1/3 mile west of the St. Louis Galleria on Clayton Road at McKnight Road. This venue is offered to the best jazz and blues groups in the city to perform 100 minutes of popular music. The Vespers, held on the third Sunday of each month, are free to the public. Free. Casual Attire. No tickets needed.
Since 1980, Steve Schenkel has been professor of music at Webster University where he founded the Jazz Studies program and the Jazz Concert Series. He performs regularly with the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra, the Fox Theater Orchestra, the Muny Orchestra and the Repertory Theater of St. Louis. Schenkel joined with Ashley Mason to release a new CD last December entitled, “A Midnight Clear.” Others performing at the Vespers are Dan Rubright on guitar and Ric Vice on bass.
During the inspirational interlude between the band’s two acts, Dr. Stephen Jones, pastor of the church, will offer a brief, non-sectarian message. A free-will offering will be taken to benefit the musicians during the interlude. Refreshments will be served in the church’s narthex after the vespers. Parking is free in lighted lots surrounding the church.
This is the final St. Louis Jazz and Blues Vespers of the Spring. A new series will soon be announced beginning in the Fall of 2009. For more information, go to our website, www.stlouisjazzandbluesvespers.com or call 314/991-3424.
