 ”A Tribute to Edsel and Edd” promises to be an unforgettable afternoon of music and memories of Edsel Holden & Dr. Edd Jones, two long-standing friends and partners on stage. If you enjoy Broadway, gospel, big band swing, Dixieland, Motown, and more, you will love this concert. The show will feature the Shoals Area Big Band, the UNA Studio Jazz Band, and special guest artist Jilla Webb. Original members of the Shoals Area Big Band will be performing, including Charlie Rose on trombone and Dr. Jimmy Simpson on alto sax.  Holden and Jones have both passed away since their last performance together in the summer of 2019. The two collaborated for more than 40 years in order to raise money for a variety of local music-related interest, including the UNA Band program. This concert will raise funds for endowed scholarships in both Holden and Jones’ names, ensuring their names are always connected to the school and band program. The show is at 2pm at Norton Auditorium, UNA Campus, in Florence.
