Steve Rudolph

Introducing a new venture - Steve Rudolph and Friends at the West Shore Theatre! Beginning in January Steve will host some small jazz groups at the West Shore Theatre. For the months of Jan/March these concerts will fall on the 4th Tuesdays of the month.

Our first concert will feature Italian saxophonist Lorenzo Simoni - one of the many fine musicians Steve and his wife Andrea have hosted in Tuscany on their annual JazZenJourney excursions.

Lorenzo Simoni - saxophonist and composer. Born in 1998, he began his journey with the saxophone at the age of 11. He graduated with honors in Classical Saxophone from Pietro Mascagni's Conservatory in Livorno and obtained an additional two-year master's degree at the SienaJazz National Academy. Starting at a young age, Lorenzo began performing as a soloist, playing with small ensembles and orchestras such as the Boccherini Conservatory Orchestra in Lucca and the CAM Orchestra in Empoli. He has won first prize in numerous national and international competitions in both classical and jazz music.

Accompanying Lorenzo with be Dave Ballou (trumpet) Tony Marino (bass ) and Adam Nussbaum,( drums) - three of the most respected players in jazz today!
