St. Louis Jazz and Blues Vespers feature the Bosman Twins on Sunday, October 18 at 6:00 pm in the Sanctuary of the Beatitudes of Second Baptist Church of St. Louis . The acoustically excellent sanctuary is located 1/2 mile west of the St. Louis Galleria on Clayton Road at McKnight Road (one mile north of the McKnight intersection of Highway 40/I-64). 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. No tickets needed. There is a lighted, free, adjacent parking lot.
Jazz ambassadors nationally and internationally, the Bosman Twins mesmerize audiences with smooth melodies, funky rhythms, and enthusiastic beats. The Emmy-Award winning identical twins, Dwayne and Dwight Bosman, have come into their own through years of energizing audiences from St. Louis to London . Their love of jazz came from their father, the late Lloyd Smith, a former sideman with Count Basie and Duke Ellington. They are both best known as saxophone players. Dwight says, “We don’t think of ourselves as just musicians. We’re jazz artists. We paint a portrait each time we play.”
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 first St. Louis Jazz and Blues Vespers of its second season. The next Vespers will be held on Sunday, November 15 at 6:00 pm featuring the Soulard Blues Band. For more information, go to our website, www.stlouisjazzandbluesvespers.com or call 314/991-3424.
