Now in its thirteenth year, Jazz at the Bechtler has put the spotlight on mid-century jazz while showcasing local, regional, and top-ranked national musicians. The Ziad Jazz Quartet dedicates this month’s concert to the fans by performing a list of fan favorites over the years. 

A special treat for attendees of the Marchconcert will be the addition of world-renowned sculpture artist Peter Rubino as he performs a live “extreme sculpting” demonstration of one of the seminal figures of mid-century jazz during the band’s performance. His large-scale works include "Mother of All Life," a 10-foot-tall monument that graces the Boyko Research Center in Israel, and "Angel," a 35-foot-tall figure created for the Walt Disney Company. Rubino teaches workshops in the U.S. and Italy and has sculpted busts of President Barack Obama, baseball legend Lou Gehrig, actor David Canary, and jazz piano legend Dave Brubeck, among other famous faces.
