Here is a perfect jazz night at the Open-Air Theatre! Randy Crawford and Joe Sample are the first guests of the night. Starting her musical career at the end of the 60s by singing with Quincy Jones, George Benson and then Joe Sample’s band “The Crusaders,” Randy Crawford presents a flawless mix of pop, jazz and R&B with her unique vocal technique. Crawford will be accompanied by Joe Sample, one of the most important pianists of the pop-jazz scene. Following Crawford and Sample, Natalie Cole will be on stage. With albums selling over 50 million copies, 9 Grammy-winner Natalie Cole will illuminate the stage with her songs full of hope and love.
