St. Petersburg guitarist, Nate Najar has been performing holiday shows for over a decade. Tonight he shares the stage with a world class All Star jazz group of jazz musicians in a concert featuring jazz interpretations of ‘The Nutcracker’ by Tchaikovsky. “We’ll do pieces from the Duke Ellington “Nutcracker Suite” and we’ll also be swinging some of your holiday favorites and some jazz favorites,” says Nate.
