NEWFANE — Don Baldini, legendary bassist for Count Basie, Frank Sinatra, and many other musicians, will join Dan DeWalt on piano for an evening of Great American Songbook standards on Wednesday, Jan. 30, at the Four Columns Inn at 21 West St. from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m.
For decades, Baldini has performed, recorded, and taught throughout the U.S., from the West Coast to New England, and “is beloved for his hard swing and impeccable playing,” writes DeWalt, who plays plays in a number of bands in the region.
He describes the performance as “a rare opportunity” to hear him play jazz standards outside of the Latin/original composition performances, where he most often can be heard.
Admission is free. For more information, contact DeWalt at 802-348-7701.
