“Legendary” jazz pianist Bill Mays will join Dean Johnson, Ron Vincent and David Larsen in a jazz concert at the Jacklin Arts and Cultural Center at 7 p.m. April 27.

The program will include jazz standards with a bass, drums, saxophone and piano, organized by Larsen, who has a doctorate in music and teaches at Spokane Falls Community College.

The featured artist, Mays, will play a baby grand on stage for the show.

Mays came from a musical family and worked from 1969 to the early 1980s as a studio session musician in Los Angeles. He has been an accompanist to singers like Peggy Lee, Frank Sinatra and Dionne Warwick.

In 1984, he moved to New York City and began to do more work as a bandleader, composer and arranger. He has recorded more than three dozen albums under his own name and has been heard on hundreds more by others.

Tickets are $25 and available at https://rb.gy/o8f25. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and beverages will be served before the concert.
