Rob Scheps and Jason Jackson, at the Majestic and at Lucky Brewgrille

Every Monday night at New York City’s Village Vanguard jazz club, Jason Jackson holds a trombone chair in the esteemed Vanguard Jazz Orchestra. Other nights, you might find him in a Broadway orchestra. He has recorded and toured with Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin, Gil Evans and the Dizzy Gillespie All-Star Big Band. Over the next two weeks, he joins saxophonist Rob Scheps on a Midwest tour. Scheps returns to the Kansas City area from New York twice a year. This week, Scheps and Jackson perform Thursday with pianist Mark Lowrey, bassist Karl McComas-Reichl and drummer Sam Wisman at the Majestic, and Friday with guitarist Ron Carlson and bassist Joel Stratton at Lucky Brewgrille.
