Jazz saxophonist extraordinaire Hal Stein had an ebullient spirit that infused his life and his music. Come swing in that spirit with his colleagues, fans, friends and family, in a monster concert celebrating his legacy as a musician, an educator, and a man.

In addition to his consummate bandmates, Lee Bloom, John Wiitala & Danny Spencer, the stage will be lit by such local luminaries as Harvey Wainapel, Pete Yellin, Mark Levine, Bud Spangler, Ron Marabuto, Kim Nalley, and special guests TBA

Sincerely,

Greg, Jennie and Naomi Stein
