Our Bob Ross Auto Group Jazz & Beyond concerts present a great mix of familiar favorites and new faces from the region’s jazz scene. The series has been a regular fixture at the museum for more than 25 years.
You've waited all series for it! Join us on Thursday, October 9, as the Bob Ross Auto Group Jazz & Beyond series presents Puzzle of Light! 🧩💡🎶🎷🕺
A tradition for our Jazz series, Puzzle of Light is a world-flavored quintet with roots reaching deep into jazz, blues, folk, African rhythms, Middle Eastern harmonies, Brazilian chords and Old-World sounds.
“Puzzle of Light … is a world-flavored quintet with roots reaching deep into jazz, blues, folk, African rhythms, Middle Eastern harmonies, Brazilian chords, Old world sounds … The band leaps nimbly from one inspiration to the next, wrapping them all in the signature Puzzle sound; in the course of one set, listeners might hear sources as varied as Van Morrison, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Leonard Cohen, Duke Ellington, Sting, Stanley Turrentine, John Hyatt and Dave Brubeck, among numerous original tunes.” – Duante Beddingfield, Dayton City Paper, May 2012.
