LEGENDS of JAZZ concert series presented by AARP came to town with a sold-out performance at the Adrienne Arsht Center.
Event executive producer Larry Rosen brought his Jazz Roots, a two tier event, first with a showcase with local music students followed by an evening of incredible Jazz. Grammy award winning Paquito D'Rivera and legend pianist Dave Brubeck delighted the crowd for the first part of the concert, with jazz group Fourplay closing the night.

Jazz Roots continues on December 12 with Bossa Nova: The First 50 Years featuring guitarist/producer Oscar Castro-Neves, Grammy Award-winning singer/songwriter Ivan Lins and multi-award-winning singer/pianist Eliane Elias.
