American jazz guitarist Jeff Golub brings his contemporary stylings to Jazz in the Park on Saturday, May 26. With 11 solo albums and three CDs under his belt as the leader of the instrumental band Avenue Blue, Golub made a name for himself, working with Rod Stewart from 1988 to 1995 and in his early days with Billy Squier. Last year, he was blinded due to a collapse on his optic nerve, but he hasn’t let it stop him from playing music.

Four80East, featuring Shilts and Matt Marshak, will pick up with pace with electro jazz on Saturday, June 2. The Canada-based band consists of musicians Rob DeBoer, keyboards, bass and guitar; and Tony Grace, percussion; and other session musicians. With five CDs in the repertoire, it’s difficult to believe the band began as a studio project in the late 1990s. Guitarist Marshak joins the groove, bringing his crowd pleasing originals to the stage, and Shilts adds a contemporary jazz feeling to round out the evening.

The Yellowjackets round out the series on Saturday, June 9 with smooth jazz and jazz fusion and a storied career in the jazz genre. The Grammy-nominated artists bring a repertoire dating back to 1981 to the stage. The band’s most recent release, Timeline, released in 2011, featured former member and founder Robben Ford and was the band’s 24th album.

Jazz in the Park favorite Spyro Gyra will launch the series on Saturday, May 12. The group brings an energy to the series that has made it popular for more than 30 years. Since its first release in 1979, Spyro Gyra’s music and style have made it an original force in the music industry. It started in 1974 when bandleader and saxman Jay Beckenstein and keyboardist Jeremy Wall developed an ensemble. Through the years, Wall made his mark as a producer while members Scott Ambush, bass; Julio Fernandez, guitar and Tom Schuman, keyboards joined Beckenstein in the honored Spyro Gyra tradition. Genre icon Boney James described Spyro Gyra’s music in Jazziz Magazine as combining “accessible pop qualities with happy uplifting tones, bringing together elements of jazz, Latin and R&B effortlessly and unconsciously. What they’re doing with electric jazz and unique instrumentation has always had a timeless quality to me.”
