The Mason Gross Summer Serie series concludes 7:30 p.m. Aug. 1 at Nicholas Music Center with an annual tradition—a performance by the esteemed Rutgers Jazz Faculty with Kenny Davis on bass; Conrad Herwig on trombone; Ralph Bowen on saxophone; Bill O’Connell at the piano; Vic Juris on guitar; Donald Edwards on drums, and Joe Magnarelli on trumpet.
This year’s performance is a tribute to the late bassist and composer Charles Mingus in honor of what would have been his 90th birthday.
