Bassist Dennis Irwing needs help: he is battling cancer and has no health insurance. Joe Lovano and John Scofield team up with Jazz at Lincoln Center and Wynton Marsalis to bring together an incredible lineup of performers in a benefit concert for beloved bassist Dennis Irwin at The Allen Room (Broadway at 60th Street / NYC).
Mose Allison, Ron Carter, Bill Charlap, Jack DeJohnette, Bill Frisell, Jim Hall, Jon Hendricks, Joe Lovano, Wynton Marsalis, Paul Motian, John Patitucci, John Scofield and Sultans of Swing, with David Berger are donating their services and Jazz at Lincoln Center is donating its venue and staff to raise much-needed funds for Irwin through The Jazz Foundation of America. We invite the jazz community and music fans to come together in support of Dennis Irwin.
All tickets at $150 are available at the Jazz at Lincoln Center Box Office on Broadway at 60th St., by calling CenterCharge at (212) 721-6500 or via www.jalc.org. All proceeds from this concert will go to the Jazz Foundation of America for the Jazz Musicians’ Emergency Fund in support of Dennis Irwin’s emergency financial and medical support.
