Jazz enthusiasts should get ready to swing with some legends of the genre at the fall Friday night jazz series concerts at Santa Monica College.

Celebrated jazz trumpeter Oscar Brashear will perform at the opening night of the series on Sept. 17\. Brashear is considered to be one of the great jazz musicians of the post-1970 period, and one of the most prolific creators of recordings and performances. He has performed alongside such greats as Count Basie, Woody Herman, Bobby Hutcherson and many more.

Other jazz musicians scheduled to appear in the concert series are the Reggie Hamilton Quintet on Oct. 8, the Jon Mayer Quartet on Nov. 5, and the John Beasley Quintet on Dec. 3.

In addition, pianist Christopher Weldon will perform for free on Sept. 21 at 11:15 a.m. Weldon trained at the Juilliard School and has won numerous national and international piano competitions. Among them are the Kosciuszko Foundation National Chopin Competition and the Juilliard School Gina Bachauer International Piano Competition.

The concerts take place at 7 p.m. on Fridays at Santa Monica College and cost $10\. For more information and tickets, call (310) 434-3000.
