Letting it fly: Jazz on the Fly! is a two-concert mini-fest that promises to be a “celebration of the return of live jazz to UVA.” Friday’s Free Bridge & Faculty show features the quintet of Jeff Decker (sax), John D’earth (trumpet), Peter Spaar (bass), and Robert Jospe (drums and percussion), along with “old friend” Calvin Brown (piano). On Saturday, the UVA Jazz Ensemble presents “Contingencies and Resiliencies,” a program of originals from Infernal Resilience, the group’s double album, which was recorded during lockdown.
Friday 4/8 & Saturday 4/9. Free-$15, 8pm. Old Cabell Hall, UVA Grounds, and live on YouTube. virginia.edu
