  I  

ASCAP will present a showcase series called “Month of Mondays” at Dizzy’s Club Coca-Cola at Jazz at Lincoln Center in Manhattan.

From Monday, Nov. 28, through Dec. 26, Jazz at Lincoln Center will showcase five composers from winners of the annual ASCAP Foundation Young Jazz Composer Awards. The featured composers/performers will include, in this order: Manuel Valera; Sherisse Rogers; Jason Goldman; David Guidi and Maurice Brown. The performers will be showcased in two sets—once at 7:30 p.m. followed by a final performance at 9:30 p.m.

“The Month of Mondays” showcases will bring talented jazz creators nurtured by the ASCAP Foundation Young Jazz Composer Awards program to the attention of the public,” said ASCAP President and Chairman Marilyn Bergman. “We are proud to collaborate with Wynton Marsalis and his team at Jazz at Lincoln Center to provide these young professionals a major jazz venue to showcase their work.”

    “There’s nothing quite like it,” Springs says of working with an orchestra. “It’s 60 people working in harmony in the moment. Singing with them is kind of empowering but also humbling at the same time.”
