This weekend the 2018-19 Jazz at the MAC season at the McConnell Arts Center in Worthington gets started under the direction of pianist and musical director Tony Hagood. Hagood and a cast of talented musicians produced four excellent concerts for his first series in 2017-18 – his Brubeck tribute was fantastic – and this season will pick up where they left off. Tony Hagood presents Movie and TV Themes Reimagined at the McConnell’s Bronwynn Theatre on Friday, November 16th at 7:30pm. Tickets and more details are available here. The season continues in the new year with concerts covering Horace Silver, modern jazz, and Rhapsody in Blue. Hagood was kind enough to answer my questions via email, so keep reading to learn more about this weekend’s concert and upcoming events, as well as video footage from last season. Read More →
