After a successful opener featuring TV and movie themes in November, pianist Tony Hagood’s 2018-2019 Jazz at the MAC series returns in the new year with a nuanced look at a true jazz master. “Tony Hagood Presents The Music of Horace Silver” takes place at the McConnell Arts Center in Worthington on Friday, January 25th at 7:30pm – tickets are available here. Hagood has once again assembled a top-notch ensemble for his next concert, as his quintet will feature Anthony Stanco on trumpet, Michael Cox on tenor saxophone, Reggie Jackson on drums, and Bradley Mellen on bass. Hagood was very kind to answer my questions about Silver, the concert and the band, so keep reading to learn much more about this excellent show. Read More →
