First Jazz Vespers of the Season Calabria Foti at All Saints

Join All Saints Church to enjoy sultry vocalist Calabria Foti and trombone virtuoso Bob McChesney, who glean from the best of the Great American Songbook and the world of jazz.

Music industry icons have gushed over Foti’s sensuous vocals, her uncanny ability to bring out the ‘bare essence’ of every lyric, and to scat like a demon. Legendary crooner, Johnny Mathis calls A Lovely Way To Spend An Evening, “some of the most beautiful and artistic music I have ever heard. It is a treasure….what a joy!” Songwriter Johnny Mandel says, “Calabria has all the technique and musicality one could want, and she has the ability to tell a story and touch everyone’s heart . . . one of the best CDs I’ve ever heard.” Trumpeter Chris Botti says, “Calabria is a gifted artist who puts her signature on each of these great standards”. In addition to her talents as a vocalist, Calabria Foti is also an accomplished violinist.

Attendees gather in the intimacy of the Chancel for an extraordinary experience of jazz in-the-round. Childcare provided. If there’s a need for an elevator for accessibility, please arrive five minutes early.
