Avon Library’s Winter Music Series features Jazz with Nat King Cole.

The Friends of the Avon Library are pleased to announce the next concert of their popular music series, “Sundays at Three” on Sunday, January 27 with a performance by John Brighenti, Mike Asetta and Orice Jenkins.  John Brighenti is a native of CT and is well known to many of us.  John is a graduate of the Hartt School where he studied jazz.  He has won several awards.  Joining John is bass player Mike Asetta, who has been immersed in jazz from an early age.  He also has a graduate certificate for performance in classical music from the Yale School of Music.  The singing of Nat King Cole is performed by Orice Jenkins who is a native of Hartford and studied at the Hartt School.  He has released several albums.  His arrangements and melodies bring a unique style to his performance.  He will bring Nat King Cole alive for this event.  This is nostalgia at its best!
