The musical event includes Baroque, Romantic, and Contemporary Jazz styles all in one program. A presentation of music for jazz quintet featuring organ, vibraphone, trumpet/flugelhorn, bass, and drum-kit, will have you tapping your feet. Frank Perko III and other guest musicians will premier, "La Petite Sweet", to Colorado, composed by the famous organist/composer Dorothy J. Papadakos. The music is cool, rhythmic, fresh, laid back, smooth, riffy, brassy, swinging, and dance-like. "La Petite Sweet" is a three movement work in jazz style, and was commissioned by the American Guild of Organists for the 2010 National Convention in Washington, D.C. in tribute and celebration of big band artist Duke Ellington. Other composers featured on the program are Léon Boëllmann, Johann Sebastian Bach, Johannes Matthias Michel, and Joe Utterback.
