Back by popular demand! The Bob Ross Auto Group Jazz & Beyond Series swings into fall the Bright Moments Quintet, featuring saxophonist Bill Burns and vocalist Felita LaRock. This special performance by the Bright Moments Quintet will celebrate The Great American Songbook.
Burns is an active jazz educator and performer across southwest Ohio, and he has been referred to by the Dayton Daily News as “the biggest, baddest, baritone sax player to play her in a long time.” Burns is the founder and leader of the Bright Moments Quintet and the Unity Saxophone Quartet, as well as a member of the Dayton Jazz Orchestra, The Psychoacoustic Orchestra, The Tom Daughtery Orchestra, and various regional bands. His most recent recording, Jazz Advice, with the Bright Moments Quintet was released in January of 2016.
The Bright Moments Quintet is dedicated to promoting jazz education though performance, student workshops, and teacher clinics. The group’s members include Felita Larock, vocals, Brian Cashwell, piano, Jim Leslie, drums, and Christian Berg, bass.
