The Morganton Public Library is hosting a "welcome spring" free concert at 2 p.m. March 20 featuring jazz group Too Human.
Too Human covers jazz standards from the American Songbook, but with a fresh interpretation that brings new life to classic songs.
Their songwriting influences include Paul Simon, Smokey Robinson, Joni Mitchell, Buck Owens, Duke Ellington, Thom Bell, Carole King, Cole Porter and the Gershwins — from jazz and blues to pop to R&B.
With vocals, guitar, percussion and upright bass, they have a jazzy/bluesy feel.
Ellen Schwartz's earthy voice combines with Roger Bruno's unusual percussion style and stirring vocals.
Sweet harmonies, unusual arrangements and Bruno's famous mouth trombone are the musical elements that frame their performance.
But what drives their work is their onstage chemistry.
High quality musicianship with humor and passion, totally in sync with each other, they create a strong and intimate atmosphere.
