"The KUAF Summer Jazz Concert Series is now in its 21st season, a remarkable accomplishment for an under-served musical genre," reveals Robert Ginsburg. Ginsburg is the execu- tive director of the Northwest Arkansas Jazz Society, the presenting entity for the series. "The most obvious distinc- tion of the Summer Jazz Concert Series is our commitment to improvised music in the great tradition of jazz. The genre continues to expand and find its way into other musical styles, but at its core we are still dealing with jazz." Born out of the desire to present jazz as the main attraction — rather than to a marginally engaged audience in a restaurant or bar — the KUAF Summer Jazz Series brings a mix of touring ensembles and local jazz musicians to venues across Northwest Arkansas in its 21st year. Discounted tickets for NWA Jazz Society members. INFO — digjazz.com Music on the Square Downtown Kingston JUNE 28 — Willi Carlisle, with Home by Daylight JULY 26 — Effron White, with Tater, Mater and Squarsh AUG. 30 — Buddy Shute & Friends, with Dan Martin SEPT. 27 — Mountain Gypsies, with Old '78s Since 2006, the gazebo on the tiny town square in downtown Kingston has transformed into a stage four times each summer, always the last Friday evening in June, July, August and September. Entering the series' 14th year, music lovers are invited to bring lawn chairs as the square is roped off and traffic directed around to make plenty of space for fans of outdoor performance. The free shows begin at 7 p.m. with an opener, followed by open mic time between sets, and the second performer taking the stage at 8 p.m. INFO — facebook.com/KingstonMusic OnTheSquare Summer Continued From Page 9 Courtesy photo Five & Dime Fayetteville acoustic swing quartet Hogtown Hot Club continues the Five & Dime series with a show of gypsy jazz meets Americana swing on May 29.

KUAF Jazz Series One of the most compelling composer/ performers in jazz, Jonathan Kreisberg combines timeless melodicism with forward-thinking lines and textures, steadily building a name for himself around the world. Kreisberg's trio performs as part of the KUAF Summer Jazz Series presented by the Northwest Arkansas Jazz Society on June 22.
