A live tribute can offer a fresh way into familiar music. The Fuquay-Varina Arts Center’s October 22 Icons of Jazz program, Divine & Dexterous, features Camille Thurman with the Christian Tamburr Trio in a celebration of Sarah Vaughan and Dexter Gordon.
The Thursday performance is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. at 123 East Vance Street. The official ticket page lists individual tickets at $24 and a four-performance Icons of Jazz series at $80. Check available seats and any checkout charges before making plans around a particular place in the theater.
The announced program brings together saxophone, vocals and vibraphone. For someone new to the music, those contrasting sounds provide a simple listening starting point: notice how a phrase moves between a voice and an instrument, or how the texture changes when another musician takes the lead. No specialist vocabulary is needed to follow the exchange.
Allow time to arrive and settle before the performance begins, and contact the box office at 919-567-3921 about access needs or ticket questions. Let the evening introduce an artist or sound you may want to explore afterward rather than expecting to recognize every piece.
