The powerful vocals of Chester Gregory and keyboard wizardry of Dave Powers join Bobby Floyd and the CJO on timeless classics like "Piano Man," "Just the Way You Are," "Your Song," "Rocket Man," "Sir Duke," "Isn't She Lovely," and many more!</p> <p>Chester Gregory burst onto the theater scene as Jackie Wilson in the original production of The Jackie Wilson Story for which he received major acclaim such as, The Jeff, AUDELCO, BTAA and Black Excellence Awards. Chester went on to star in the original Broadway casts of Tarzan (as "Terk") and Cry-Baby (as "Dupree"). In 2009 he went on tour again, this time with Dreamgirls, and was awarded Best Supporting Actor by the NAACP Theater Awards and garnered accolades around the world, including both the United States and Japan, for his powerful performance as "Jimmy Early." Chester is currently starring in the smash-hit Broadway musical Sister Act as "Officer Eddie Souther," and has earned an Outer Critic Circle Award Nomination for this role. Though widely celebrated as a talented actor, Chester remains true to his love of music and has produced three solo recording projects, his debut album In Search of High Love, his mix-tapes, Breakbeat Karaoke, and If U Only.</p> <p>For over 30 years, Dave Powers has been a vital part of the Columbus, Ohio music scene as a pianist, keyboardist, and vocalist. Considered one of the most successful musicians in the local spectrum, Dave manages to win over the hearts of all who hear him perform. From clubs and restaurants to corporate events and private parties, his vast repertoire is as diverse as the audience that he entertains. His talents can be heard on a variety of recordings by local music greats Chuz Alfred, Cornell Wiley, Jim Masters, Gene Walker, "Jazz &amp; Eggs," Don Bullard, and on recordings with guitarist Tony Janflone Jr. from Pittsburgh, PA. He has also recorded several titles of his own including the most recent, The House Jazz Concert Series, Vols. 1-4, documenting live performances given at Dave's home for an enthusiastic audience.</p> <p>To commemorate Jazz Appreciation Month and National Autism Awareness Month, both celebrated annually during the month of April, the Jazz Arts Group will form a unique partnership with the Helping Hands Center for Special Needs (HHC). HHC will join the Columbus Jazz Orchestra during its "Piano Men" concerts to share information about the work being done locally and statewide around issues of autism research and awareness.</p> <p>Under the direction of Mark Donavan, the Columbus Youth Jazz Orchestra (CYJO) provides opportunities for talented high school age musicians to further their experience in America's classical music – jazz. Comprised of premier players in grades 9-12 from central Ohio and beyond, the CYJO has a 30-week season during the school year, and performs at the Southern Theatre prior to each of the Columbus Jazz Orchestra's Sunday matinee concerts. The CYJO plays literature of the highest level with repertoire from the libraries of the great big bands, including Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Woody Herman, Oliver Nelson, Benny Goodman and Dizzy Gillespie. Admission to the CYJO performance at 2 PM is included with each 3 PM Sunday matinee ticket purchase.</p> <p>Single tickets are on sale for $52 (main floor), $46 (first balcony) and $30 (second balcony) and available through the CAPA Ticket Office at 614-469-0939 and through all Ticketmaster outlets. Student tickets are available for $15 (over 18) and $10 (under 18) with valid ID at the door. For more information call 614-294-5200 or visit <a href="http://www.jazzartsgroup.org" rel="nofollow">http://www.jazzartsgroup.org</a>.</p> <p>Audience members can also join Byron Stripling for a casual and engaging conversation with Dave Powers on Saturday, April 13 at 2 PM in a new workshop series at the Jazz Academy. "Offstage at the Jazz Academy" provides participants a behind-the-scenes glimpse from the artist perspective on performing with the CJO – adding new perspective to being an audience member. In addition to the opportunity to learn something new, each guest artist will be asked to share what they are currently listening to on their iPods or CD players, introducing audiences to new and exciting music and artists. "Offstage at the Jazz Academy" is free to CJO subscribers and $10 for general registrants. Pre-registration is requested and available at <a href="http://www.jazzartsgroup.org" rel="nofollow">http://www.jazzartsgroup.org</a>.</p> <p>The 40th anniversary season of the Jazz Arts Group is proudly presented by Grange Insurance.
