Jazz Meets The Beatles

Maggie Worsdale, one of the top jazz vocalists in the NY area, sings some of the more popular Beatles tunes and tells the stories behind them. Worsdale’s handpicked songs are uniquely interpreted just for this tribute to what many consider the greatest rock band of all time. Invited for this tribute is San Antonio's own, Ken Slavin, who has traveled nationally entertaining audiences with his flawless voice and classic style.

Kevin Eubanks - jazz guitarist and former musical director for THE TONIGHT SHOW WITH JAY LENO said this about Maggie Worsdale:

"Listening to her incredibly versatile vocal quality brings to mind many adjectives that only begin to describe her unique talent; sassy, sophisticated, broad, intimate, vivacious, vibrant, clear, and electrifying are just a few that approach giving the listener an idea of what to expect. She has that special ability to take a song and make you listen - really listen to what it has to say."
