Arts@ODU are pleased to present the Duane Squire Smith Quintet for an evening of live jazz at the Gordon Art Galleries in coordination with the exhibition Samuel Kahn, Ph.D. + Friends. Trumpet player Duane Squire Smith is a leading figure in the Tidewater’s musical community, spreading his musical roots from his upbringing in New York to the region. A naturalist and ardent jazz devotee, Kahn created works replete with unique avian representations and references to jazz standards.
