Jazz Great Yve Evans Electrifies Rotary Park/Rock Band Hangar 17 Lefty's Tonight, Ketchum

By John Pluntze

Avid music buffs -- of which we clearly have no shortage of at all here in the Wood River Valley -- have no less than two stellar music offerings this evening, when jazz great Yve Evans ( http://www.facebook.com/msyveevans / www.yveevans.com/http://www.myspace.com/yveevans / ) -- a perennial fave every year at the October Jazz Festival, in Sun Valley -- will perform at Ketchum's Rotary Park (at Warm Springs and Saddle Roads) tonight, from 6 to 8 p.m., as part of the ongoing free "Jazz in the Park" concert series there that started just last week (with Paul Tillotson's terrific trio) ... a jazz-music series courtesy of local artist, musician and longtime Valley resident, Will Caldwell ( http://www.willcaldwell.com ), who booked all the various musical performances again for this summer's always-popular Sunday 6-8 p.m. "Jazz In the Park" concert series at Rotary Park, and also courtest of the late and beloved Dayle Fowler, who's been graciously sponsoring this jazz-music series since its inception (Fowler was killed earlier this week in a four-car accident on Highway 93, near Jerome).

Also this evening, running from 6 until 9 p.m. or so, another Valley fave -- local rock band, Hangar 17 -- will be performing on the deck at Lefty's right here in Ketchum (231 6th Street East/726-2744 -- diagonally across from the "Train On Main") ... only the second of their concerts there this summer.

Two terrific musical offerings tonight (Sunday), neither of which you better miss!!!

Thanks Dayle Fowler, Will Caldwell for "Jazz In the Park" series at Ketchum's Rotary Park
Tonight's "Jazz In the Park" concert (from 6 to 8 p.m., at Ketchum's Rotary Park) featuring the legendary Yve Evans is bound to be a somewhat somber affair -- at least initially, anyway -- since its longtime (and much-beloved) sponsor, Dayle Fowler, was killed this past Tuesday in a four-car accident on Highway 93, near Jerome.

But what a genuinely wonderful, radiant and lasting testament that superb, free jazz-music series is TO Fowler's memory -- and also to local artist, musician and longtime Wood River Valley resident Will Caldwell ( http://www.willcaldwell.com ) who's been adroitly organizing and booking the many various jazz performers there since the Rotary Park series' inception (Caldwell books all the musical acts for the Tuesday "Ketch'em Alive!" concerts, and for those Thursday Ketchum "Town Square Tunes" concerts as well).
