East High grad returns to alma mater’s stage

Colorado Conservatory for the Jazz Arts and DazzleJazz present East High School grad Bill Frisell ‘s “Guitar in the Space Age!” featuring Greg Leisz, Tony Scherr and Kenny  Wollesen Jan. 21 at East High School, 1600 City Park Esplanade. Doors open at 6:30 p.m.; show starts at 7:30 p.m. Tickets range from $20 to $32.

Frisell graduated from East in 1969 and was recently inducted into the EHS Angels Hall of Fame. The music from Frisell’s latest Okeh release “Guitar in the Space Age!” is drawn directly from his time spent on this very same auditorium stage.

A portion of the proceeds for this performance go to the East High Music Scholarship Fund.
