The Grasso-Ravita Jazz Ensemble is a project dedicated to the writing of original music and the continuance of the jazz tradition. The Ensemble challenges themselves to define a more personal language within jazz by bringing together a stellar group of musicians, at the national and regional level, to rehearse and perform. It was immediately evident that the chemistry of this group was a rare and significant creative opportunity. The Grasso-Ravita Jazz Ensemble includes Benny Russell (tenor saxophone, soprano saxophone), Skip Grasso (guitar), Phil Ravita (acoustic bass and electric 6 string bass), Greg Small (piano), and Nuc Vega (drums).
The Ward Virts Concert Series is presented by sponsors CSM Foundation, Dr. and Mrs. Henry Virts, The Alvey Family, and Stovy and Anne Brown. The series is also supported by the Arts Council of Calvert County and the Maryland State Arts Council.
