The Jazz Legacy Project Series

What is it?

Each program is roughly 90 minutes, with the goal of bringing the casual jazz listener inside the minds and music of the most influential and interesting American musicians of all time.  The life and music of the artist/composer is entertainingly narrated by the drummer, Mr. Justin Varnes, and seminal jazz pieces are played to illuminate the narration.  These are NOT tribute concerts in the sense that the musicians are trying to recreate the original performances, but instead to celebrate the essence and accomplishments of the particular artist.

Who is it?

The Jazz Legacy Project:
Drummer and Narrator:  Justin Varnes
Pianist:  Joel Friedline
Bassist:  Kevin Smith
Saxophonist:  John Sandfort

“It’s like a jazz concert and a jazz history class in one…and they play their behinds off, too!” – Tamara Fuller, the Velvet Note.

Leader Justin Varnes has taught jazz at Emory University, Georgia Tech, and Georgia State University, as well as toured with Earl Klugh, Phoebe Snow, and Mose Allison. His Jazz Legacy Project was sponsored by the Fulton County Public Library system for a year-long series of concerts. The Jazz Legacy Project has also performed at the Velvet Note, the Jazz Corner, the 30-A Songwriter’s Festival, and the Greenville Music Museum.

Community members are invited to take part in Harvest, a new series focused on mindfulness, storytelling, and shared dialogue. The first session will be held on Wednesday, August 14 from 7:30 to 9:00 PM at Allen’s Market.

Each gathering begins with time to socialize and enjoy light refreshments, followed by guided practices such as meditation or movement, and group conversations centered on themes like belonging, healing, and connection. Harvest offers a welcoming space to slow down, reflect, and build meaningful community.

All are welcome to attend. To learn more and stay informed about future gatherings, visit www.milledgevillealliedarts.com.
