Two Westbeth vocalists share the bill for an evening of smart songwriting, adventurous arranging, and joyful musical conversation, backed by a stellar jazz trio.
Marya Zimmet presents a program of freshly arranged jazz, pop, and folk standards, along with a few genre-bending surprises that showcase her wit, warmth, and imaginative approach to song.
Alexis Cole brings a special presentation of jazz tunes by fellow Westbeth songwriter Val Hawk, whose clever, soulful compositions sit in the lineage of Bob Dorough and Dave Frishberg. Known for her deep swing, luminous tone, and masterful storytelling, Cole brings these sharp, heartfelt songs vividly to life.
Together, the two artists offer an evening of memorable melodies, intelligent lyrics, and music that swings, surprises, and connects. Free and open to the public.
