After a year without live music, Tryon’s most popular summer music series—Summer Tracks—brings the party back to Rogers Park with five concerts scheduled for July and August. Ol’ 74 Jazz—an 18-piece big band—kicks off the season on July 2. They perform a variety of tunes from different genres including: Swing, Bebop, Rock, Funk, Latin and others. You can expect to hear music from Glenn Miller classics to Earth Wind & Fire. The band is comprised of professional musicians and others who work outside the music field. This will be a terrific kick-off concert for Summer Tracks’ 22nd season with an evening of dancing under the stars. You can find out more about the band at www.ol74jazz.com or check them out on Facebook under Ol’ 74 Jazz.
