The vocalists will be accompanied by their pianist and<br \/>\nfour musicians from the Augusta Amusements Big Band, Deas said.<\/p>\n<p>Joining the Big Band will be Augusta native and internationally acclaimed trombonist Wycliffe Gordon.<\/p>\n<p>The Butler High School graduate worked with Grammy-winning trumpeter<br \/>\nWynton Marsalis for more than a decade. Gordon is widely considered the<br \/>\nworld\u2019s premier jazz trombonist.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m really looking forward to this,\u201d said Gordon, noting that<br \/>\ntrombonist Glenn Miller was all the rage during World War II. \u201cIt\u2019s an<br \/>\nhonor, and this provides another opportunity to perform at home.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gordon teaches at the Manhattan School of Music in New York.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe production is a musical journey through a war that redefined the world,\u201d Deas said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ll provide a multimedia living history cabaret that\u2019s<br \/>\ninterspersed with personal letters from the front and headline news of<br \/>\nthe period. The production is a warm reminiscence and a harrowing<br \/>\nreminder of a time that is not unlike the present,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Deas said the audience should look for colorful skit changes,<br \/>\npersonal letters and music from the 1940s big band era. Guests are<br \/>\nencouraged to wear 1940s attire.<\/p>\n<p>In the past year, Deas has also produced shows featuring jazz<br \/>\nguitarist Earl Klugh, blues guitarist Keb Mo and the Artie Shaw and<br \/>\nGlenn Miller Big Bands.<\/p>\n<p><em>War Bonds: The Songs and Letters of World War II<\/em> will be<br \/>\nheld at The Jabez Sanford Hardin Performing Arts Center inside the<br \/>\nColumbia County Library, 7022 Evans Towne Center Blvd., in Evans.<br \/>\nTickets are $35.
