Musicians from around Arizona will be joining together to present enjoyable evenings that will include not only the music, but historical facts and anecdotes about the music and the musicians who have performed America’s True Art Form for over 100 years.

Broadway and jazz music's shared history and longtime reciprocal relationship make for a perfect musical partnership. Join us as we swing open the stage door and fill the room with Broadway magic!

This show will feature Dennis Rowland, a jazz vocalist born and raised in Detroit, Michigan. Rowland’s voice is rich and deep, and throughout the early 1970s, Rowland worked Detroit’s local jazz and acting scene. In 1977 Rowland was hired by Count Basie as a vocalist on his tours, filling the same role his idols Joe Williams and Jimmy Rushing had occupied for so many years.

For Rowland, it was a dream come true and he would tour with Basie for the following seven years. During his time with Basie, Rowland had the chance to share the stage with such icons as Sarah Vaughan, Ella Fitzgerald and Tony Bennett. Rowland was seen recently as Jimmy Baker in the film Real Gone Cat by film director Robert Sucato.
