April Jazz at the Bechtler: With the saxophone at the forefront, this month’s concert promises to be a celebration of the instrument's versatility and expressive power. From smooth and sultry melodies to high-energy improvisations, tenor saxophonist Danny Walsh, accompanied by pianist Emiko Ohara-Walsh, joins the Ziad Jazz Quartet, led by Ziad Rabie, for a dynamic and soulful concert. Walsh, regarded as one of the most gifted and versatile recording artists in the Jazz and R&B circuits, has performed and recorded with such luminaries as Greg Allman, Aerosmith, drummer Lenny White (Return to Forever), and toured with guitar legend Mike Stern.
