Sunday, February 6 at 7PM
Mark Gross swings and sings along today’s Jazz vanguard. Constantly pushing the music forward while staying true to the classic elements of Jazz, Mark credits his prolific sound to the rich appreciation for Gospel music that resounded through his parent’s home in Baltimore, Maryland.
The 2022 Jazz & Blues in the Loft series are dedicated to Lee Boswell-May, longtime curator of Jazz in the Loft. Lee will always be affectionately remembered for helping to “keep the music alive” in South Orange.
