John Calz, a Smyrna-based smooth jazz artist, will perform on Saturday, May 20, at a Jazz on the Lawn event at St. Ignatius Catholic Church in Antioch.

Calz (a.k.a. John Calzavara) will lead a quartet playing classic jazz music.

Later this year, the saxophonist plans to hold an album release party for a new full-length recording. Calz has also been working with local radio station 103.9 WQJZ on promoting jazz music in the area and the station plans to add some of his music to its rotation.

“If you’re looking for smooth jazz that grooves, John Calz is packing it for you,” according to musician and producer Walt Meskell, calling sounds from the “multi-talented multi-instrumentalist” Calz a fresh and cool jazz journey.

The May 20 Jazz on the Lawn event kicks off at 7 p.m. St Ignatius is located at 601 Bell Rd., Antioch, Tennessee. Food will be available for sale.
