Westchester County, NY, Event Highlights for September 2011: Jazz Saxaphonist Joe Lovano with the Westchester Jazz Orchestra at the Irvington Town Hall Theater in Irvington, NY

Grammy-winning jazz saxophonist Joe Lovano may have built a reputation for his interpretations of works by Frank Sinatra and bop composer Tadd Dameron, but he’s also received acclaim for his own innovative compositions. For his concert with the Westchester Jazz Orchestra, Lovano will focus on the latter, premiering brand-new works commissioned specifically for the orchestra. And you don’t get to just hear his music—you can also pick his brain about his compositions at a pre-show “Open Mike” discussion with WJO Artistic Director Mike Holober. It all takes place at the Irvington Town Hall Theater on September 24.
