August 26th Jazz Tales welcomes the artistry of baritone saxophonist, Leigh Pilzer.

Leigh Pilzer is a Washington DC-based saxophonist and arranger. She has led her combo at many of DC's top jazz venues, and has toured both nationally and internationally as a member of the Smithsonian Jazz Masterworks Orchestra and The DIVA Jazz Orchestra. Leigh often performs with the National Symphony Orchestra in concert at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and on the orchestra's nationally televised PBS holiday specials.

Leigh is a gifted arranger whose work is in the libraries of the SJMO and DIVA as well as military, college, and professional jazz ensembles throughout the country. Recorded arrangements include her original composition "East Coast Andy," the opening track on The DIVA Jazz Orchestra 25th Anniversary Project.

You won't want to miss Leigh's wonderful music and unique stories from her years on the bandstand.
