Jazz and soul band Confluence will headline Jazz in July beginning at 7 p.m. Friday, July 18 at the Amana Performing Arts Center, 39 38th Ave., Amana.

Confluence, as the name suggests, is a blending of musicians with many years of experience playing melodic jazz and the soulful music of such artists as Bill Evans, Freddie Hubbard, Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, Lyle Mays, Christian McBride and Chick Corea, along with a number of our original tunes. The result is music that both engages and entertains. The band consists of Denny Redmond, keyboards; Pat Smith, guitar; Peter Hart, saxophone; John Hall, bass; and John O’Connell, drums.
