Seton Hall University will present a free concert by The Seton Hall Jazz Ensemble on Tuesday, March 23, at 7:30 pm at the South Orange Performing Arts Center (SOPAC). This concert is the final presentation of the Jazz 'n the Hall's 2009-10 concert series.

The concert is free and open to the public but a ticket is required for seating. To order your ticket calls the SOPAC Box Office at (973) 313-2787.

The Seton Hall Jazz Ensemble, making its debut with this inaugural concert, will feature faculty musicians and guest performers who represent all styles of jazz, from Dixie Land and Be-bop to Latin Jazz and Jazz-Rock Fusion. The program will include a broad range of nostalgic favorites from jazz of the 30's 40's and 50's including musical tributes to legendary performers and composers, like Duke Ellington, Thelonius Monk, Glenn Miller, and The Andrews Sisters, perhaps best known for their upbeat "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy", re-recorded by Bette Midler in 1972. Less traditional "jazz" selections will include music from The Beatles and American Broadway musicals.
