Sunday, October 18, 6:00 pm: Bosman Twins

As Dwight Bosman puts it, he and his brother Dwayne have been gigging since they were 14. Their love of music - specifically the jazz they have been playing for more than 40 years - came from their father, the late Lloyd Smith, a former sideman with Count Basie and Duke Ellington. They are both best known as saxophone players. Dwight is band director at Central Visual Performing Arts School, and the brothers helped develop the Symphony Music School at the Herbert Hoover Boys and Girls Club. Their sound is jazz but rooted in blues and gospel. "We don't think of ourselves as just musicians. We're jazz artists. We paint a portrait each time."
