Guitarist Peter Sprague loves jazz. But he also digs deep into musical history and unearths some sonic gems from the Beatles, Jimmy Webb and Brazil’s Antonio Carlos Jobim. For this concert, he connects with vocalist Allison Adams Tucker, pianist Danny Green, drummer Duncan Moore and bassist Mack Leighton for an evening of good sounds, good vibes and good times. The group recently released three albums: “All You Need Is Love” (Beatles songs), “Christmas Time Is Here” (holiday music) and “Peter Sprague Plays Jobim” (Brazilian music). Theirs is a vivid tour through three-dimensional jazz!
