The program for the evening will pay tribute to the music of the great Stevie Wonder with a little touch of Marvin Gaye sung by Irvine's own, Mando Cordova; Also on tap is a unique, rare and complete rendering of John Coltrane's epic suite, "A Love Supreme." It can be said, this post bop masterpiece has been the most influential jazz work in history. It is a record that sells more today, than it did in 1964, when it was released. Coltrane himself, performed the entire suite in public, only once in his lifetime. "A Love Supreme," which speaks of Coltrane's spiritual journey, seems to be proper programming on a concert whose purpose is to assist a wonderful faith community in their service to those in need.

Vince di Mura is a veteran Jazz pianist, composer, arranger and musical director; appearing on concert stages and theatres throughout North America, Canada, and Latin America. Vince is a frequent visiting artist to Laguna Beach; having musical directed productions at the Laguna Playhouse in 2009 and 2011.
