|  | Scroll down to see the new section featuring “just announced” shows! | | This Week at Dazzle at Baur’s | | Lazlo Torok Senior RecitalWednesday, April 6th - 7pm My name is Lazlo Torok and this recital will be the culmination of my studies playing jazz vibraphone for the past seven years. I have found joy in the expressivity and emotional depth that improvisational music provides, and I sincerely hope you will join me in celebrating this music and my continued journey. I will be playing my original compositions as well as the music of luminaries such as Joel Ross, Robert Glasper, Kenny Garrett, and Micah Thomas. Next year I hope to continue my music education at the collegiate level. Lazlo Torok (vibraphone), Greg Harris (piano/keyboards), Hunter Roberts (bass), JJ Mazza (drums) | |
