Jazz Beneath the Stars

Todd Wright Jazz Orchestra

An Appalachian Summer Festival once again partners with Westglow Resort and Spa to bring an evening of true elegance to the High Country, with dinner prepared by the masterful chefs at Rowland's Restaurant, dancing and exquisite entertainment by the Todd Wright Jazz Orchestra, all under a star-filled mountain sky.

He has performed with some of the best names in jazz including Benny Golson, Clark Terry, Eddie Daniels, Wycliffe Gordon, Dr. Billy Taylor, Ingrid Jensen and many others. Wright's 18-piece jazz orchestra comprises some of the region's most talented musicians and performs a wide range of dance music from Sinatra and Count Basie to Glenn Miller, Tommy Dorsey, Michael Bublé and other contemporary styles.

$150 ticket includes valet parking, dinner at Rowland's Restaurant and the evening's performance.
