Columbus Jazz Orchestra: Basie Ellington Satchmo

Experience an evening celebrating three legendary jazz pioneers—Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, and Count Basie—brought to life by the Columbus Jazz Orchestra. You'll hear beloved classics like Armstrong's "What a Wonderful World" and "Hello, Dolly!", Ellington's "Take the A Train" and "It Don't Mean a Thing," and Basie's smooth renditions of "April in Paris" and "Fly Me to the Moon." It's a vibrant, energetic performance perfect for anyone who loves rhythm, history, and feel-good music. The outdoor concert runs 90 minutes, with gates opening at 6:30 p.m. and the performance beginning at 8:00 p.m., giving you time to settle in before the show starts.
