New York City jazz violinist Majid Khaliq will play at the Doe Bay Café with Orcas Island’s own jazz legend Willie Thomas, Gene Nery, Martin Lund and Charlie Porter from “Dallas Brass” along with special guests “The Fiddlin’ Four.”

The Jazz Fest is on Friday, Dec. 10 at 7:30 p.m. There is no cover charge, but seating is limited. For reservations call 376-8059.

Khaliq is a violinist and composer cut from a different cloth. He has been described by legendary musician Wynton Marsalis as having “a unique blend of improvisation, groove and technical sophistication.” Classically trained, Khaliq holds a Bachelors degree from NYC’s Juilliard School of Music and earned a Masters of Arts in Jazz Performance from The Aaron Copland School of Music in Queens.
