New York’s B.B. King’s Blues Club will host Bruce Hornsby, Christian McBride and Jack DeJohnette together for two shows as a trio on May 23, with all of the evening’s proceeds going toward Jazzreach.

Jazzreach is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to the promotion, performance, creation and teaching of jazz music. Through the presentation of live multi-media educational programs for young audiences, the commissioning, recording and performance of new works and informative clinics and master-classes for student musicians, JazzReach commits itself to fostering a greater appreciation, awareness and understanding of jazz.

General admission tickets are $50 in advance, $55 the day of the show. A limited number of VIP tickets will be available at $100, which include priority seating and a post-show meet-the-artist reception. Tickets can be purchased at the B.B. King’s box office, 237 W. 42nd Street, or through Ticketmaster.

    “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.”
