Jazz in the Garden Concert Series: Vanessa Perea Quintet
Jazz in the Garden Concert Series: Vanessa Perea Quintet
Join us for the third in a series of three intimate outdoor jazz concerts set on the West Terrace of historic Greenwood Gardens, a 28-acre formal garden and former estate built during the Jazz Age. Vanessa Perea will take the stage with her quintet, featuring Robert Edwards on trombone. Vanessa is a NYC-based jazz vocalist whose style embodies the tradition of the masters, with a beautiful sound, sweeping range, and heavy swing feel. She has performed with jazz greats including George Cables, Dwayne Burno, Pasquale Grasso, Adam Birnbaum, and many others. Greenwood Gardens is a formal garden and historic site rooted in the Arts & Crafts and Classical approaches to garden design. Visitors can enjoy a wide array of flora and fauna as they stroll the terraced gardens, delight in the relaxing sounds of the water features, discover whimsical garden follies, including a Tea House and Summer House built in 1925, and meander down moss-covered pathways dotted with a collection of antique statuary. Gates open at 5:30 p.m. and attendees are invited to stroll through the garden before the concert begins. Wine and cheese will be served under the tent on the West Terrace at 6:00 p.m. before the music starts at 6:30 p.m. Enjoy an hour and a half of some of the finest jazz in town in a unique and beautiful outdoor setting!
