Carnival of Soul

The concert will be from 7 to 9 p.m. at the center, 6603 Third Ave., and will feature the group “Jazz Spectrum.”

The concert marks the vocal quartet’s second appearance at Twilight Jazz. Jazz Spectrum is based in Mundelein, Ill., and has been performing in Illinois, Wisconsin and the UP since 1995. The quartet is backed by a swinging six piece instrumental ensemble of piano, bass, drums and three horns.

Their book consists of lyrics put to classic big band tunes made famous by Basie, Ellington and Goodman. Their style is reminiscent of The Manhattan Transfer, The Four Freshmen and Lambert, Hendricks and Ross. Ballads with rich harmonies, Doo Wop, and “good-time” 50’s Rock an’ Roll, round out a varied performance.

Their highly acclaimed arrangements and original vocalese lyrics are written by leader, Bob Zaun.
