Woo! Thanks for grabbing your tickets online!! We only have 1 ticket left, and have room for 15 more ($20) at the door for standing room only. See you there! Tickets at originsjazz.org "When we first convened to plan the first season of the Origins Jazz Series we were really thinking of it in two bins. First, we planned the shows that would be co-booked with the Xavier Jazz Series. Second, we wanted to add three to four local artists. The first name I said was Raleigh Dailey. His name is synonymous with the best jazz happening in Lexington. As a member of the scene, I am continually inspired by the musical variety and excellence Raleigh brings to any gig from background music to a more thought out performance like Turandot. " -Eli Uttal-Veroff @naptownjazz12 Tickets $15 in advance, $20 at the door! They’re selling fast! We are honored to present Raleigh Dailey, one of the many talented jazz artists here in Lexington, KY.

Free and open to the public. . . . . #sharethelex #lexarts #lexingtonevents #milesdavis #inasilentway #cooljazz #modaljazz #jazzfusion @westsixth @wildfigcoffeeandbooks @wholefoodslex @21chotels @carsons_lexington @undermainlex Read Raleigh’s thoughts about our series: “Lexington needs Origins Jazz Series. There is definitely an audience for it. The last two shows selling out is evidence of that. We’ve got to continue to connect the audience with the music. I love that it’s community wide. It gives artists the opportunity to do a concert we normally wouldn’t be able to do.” -Raleigh Dailey Catch Raleigh at his performance with us: http://bit.ly/RaleighDailey . . . . #jazz #originsjazzseries #lexarts #sharethelex @undermainlex @wholefoodslex @21chotels @carsons_lexington @wildfigcoffeeandbooks @lexarts We are excited to present Raleigh Dailey alongside five other talented musicians that will be performing on March 10, 7:30p at TeeDee’s. Ticket link in bio and at http://bit.ly/RaleighDailey Raleigh Dailey’s own love for jazz started when he was in high school and began to experiment with it on the piano. He would grab Miles Davis records from the library and wear them out. While studying classical piano at Kent State University, he was inspired by one of his professors to explore jazz more intently. Fast forward to now, where he is an associate professor of jazz at the University of Kentucky. He’s now the one inspiring other students about the intricate musical variety that is jazz. He’s sharing just a piece of that with Lexington at our show March 10. We hope to see you there! . . . #sharethelex #lexingtonky #originsjazzseries @lexarts @wildfigcoffeeandbooks @carsons_lexington @21chotels @wholefoodslex @undermainlex
