“The Shreveport Regional Jazz Ensemble will present Big Band Jazz at Caddo Common Park on June 6th at 5:30 pm and June 9th at 1 pm.  Who doesn’t like listening to live jazz.  How would jazz be described?  Brainley.com says jazz is “an American style of music, evolved from various musical styles that makes use of syncopated rhythms, improvisation, and polyphonic ensemble music.”  That about sums it up but who knew.  What we do know is that jazz is part of our heritage and it makes us feel good.  Lead by the talents of Cleveland White and Donald Walters, the Ensemble is comprised of 18 skilled musicians and two very gifted vocalists.  For more information, visit https://www.shrevearts.org/
