From Rick Helzer:
Hopefully, this is the first in a series of Jazz Events sponsored by JazzFresno for Jazz at the Library honoring a number of my mentors over the years who gave me so much through their music. I chose Thelonious and Carla because of the breadth of their creativity, not to mention each of their inimitable creative voices. Their music has inspired me over the years, and I am indebted to them for the beauty and challenges their compositions inspire.
JazzFresno is funded in part by the City of Fresno Measure P Expanded Access to Arts and Culture Fund administered by the Fresno Arts Council.
Thank you Fresno!
