CL RECOMMENDS
CL Critic Doug DeLoach Recommends: Under the direction of Sam Skelton GSO Jazz! Performs “Basie & Beyond,” a program celebrating the legacy of composer-arranger-trombonist Sammy Nestico (1924-2021). Nestico, who worked with Basie, Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra and Sarah Vaughan, taught at the University of Georgia in 1998-99 before retiring. The program includes a recreation of Nestico’s Basie and Beyond album collaboration with Quincy Jones from 2000. — DD
