About the event
Professional jazz musicians in Greater Cleveland have expressed a hunger for opportunities to create meaningful art that reflects their faith. While jazz has a rich tradition of storytelling and personal expression, few performance spaces welcome conversations about faith.
Crescendo Cleveland offers a unique opportunity to hear jazz with deeper meaning. Presented by a 7-piece ensemble of established, renowned professional musicians from the Greater Cleveland area, this evening tells a story of faith, creation, and community through exceptional music, Scripture, and personal testimony. Join us on Friday, October 9th!
This program is led by Shannon Eller (vocals), featuring:
Dave Banks - trumpet
Bob Esterle - saxophone
Billy Joe Wiseman - guitar
