The Church Street Jazz Series kicked off its 2024 season with a energetic performance by legendary saxophonist Gerald Albright at the Harrison Opera House on Saturday night (Jan. 6).

Lang also announced that teachers would be honored during the first of each month with special discounted tickets.

Lang recognized New Journal and Guide publisher Brenda H. Andrews as well as Congressman Bobby Scott before the start of the concert.

Veteran saxophonist Gerald Albright brought the crowd to its feet several times with his upbeat jazz tempo and inviting musical style. The New Journal and Guide is one of the principal sponsors of the Church Street Jazz Series.
