    Contemporary Jazz Saxophonist Dana Robbins who has worked with everyone from Barry Manilow to Tower of Power to Aretha Franklin, will be the featured artist for the next installment of Nashville Jazz Workshop's Contemporary Jazz Series. The Contemporary Jazz Series is one of the hottest new programs at the Workshop! This series presents diverse music by local contemporary artists and is attracting an enthusiastic audience.

    The series, hosted by Rahsaan Barber, is designed to present new, original, and cutting edge jazz that may not have been heard before in the Jazz Cave. Describing "contemporary jazz," series host Rahsaan Barber explained that "just as the jazz of Ella Fitzgerald and Count Basie was influenced by musicians’ and audiences’ affinities for the blues of Beale Street and the bright lights of Broadway, so it is with contemporary jazz, which draws much influence from more modern strains of American music -- including funk, gospel, hip hop -- and more international 'cargo,' including Indian ragas, Cuban descargas and European classical music."
