Jazz Attack
featuring Rick Braun, Richard Elliott & Jeff Golub

Headlining the Saturday event, Rick Braun, Richard Elliot and Jeff Golub are teaming up for their incredibly hot Jazz Attack tour. As they say sometimes the whole is greater than the sum of its parts and a new duo album with Trumpeter Rick Braun and Saxman Richard Elliot could be the perfect combination. Braun & Elliott are regular touring members of Jazz Attack and are proud to feature guitarist Jeff Golub at this year's Jazz On The Green. Braun says "For me, I feel like I want people to walk away from this show with an experience that's so much more than just putting on my CD. I want them to feel like we've had some sort of experience together and they can walk away saying, 'Boy, I'll never forget that,' you know, 'That was a wonderful night.'"

Walter Beasley – Over the last three decades smooth jazz favorite, Walter Beasley has been a regular presence in the top 20 of Billboard's contemporary jazz charts. Walter Beasley is not only a recording artist and performer; he is also a full professor at Berklee College of Music in Boston, as well as a performance consultant. As a saxophonist and singer, he is unique in the recording industry, and as such his sales and airplay are unmatched.

 

U-Nam - On occasion an artist comes along and brilliantly retouches existing artist styles and songs. This is exactly what guitarist, U-Nam, has accomplished with his smooth jazz re-stylings of some best loved songs from the 80’s such as, “Street Life”. U-Nam's music is full of soulful emotion and comes from the heart. "U-Nam" is French for "One Soul", and that's what he's all about.

Native Imports – Jazz On The Green is pleased to feature as our opening act local favorites Paul Rozmus on flute, vocalist David Christian and Islande, a very talented female vocalist, who just tried out for American Idol. These musicians have been pleasing Southwest Florida audiences for years!

Acoustic Alchemy

Headlining Sunday’s Event is one of the longest standing iconic bands of the Smooth Jazz and Contemporary music genre, Acoustic Alchemy.
