UNLV Jazz Presents: The Joe Williams Scholarship Concert — Tribute to Marlena Shaw

UNLV Jazz Presents: The Joe Williams Scholarship Concert — Tribute to Marlena Shaw

Celebrate 34 years of beautiful music, and an even more beautiful history of community service, with UNLV’s Joe Williams Scholarship concert. This year, the musical event and fundraiser, hosted by the UNLV Jazz department, is doing something different to commemorate the recent passing of longtime local music teacher and bonafide vocal legend Marlena Shaw. You may have heard her on her biggest hit, “California Soul,” or on any number of songs that have sampled her work, or maybe you were even there when she fronted Count Basie’s orchestra during its performance at the old Sahara. Jazz, soul, blues, disco, hip-hop, dance music — Shaw’s music was for everyone, and so is this event, at the bargain price of $8-10 per ticket.
