Blake High alum, and former Prince band member, BK Jackson plays hometown show

The thrill of seeing alumni of Blake High School come back to the neighborhood’s gigantic performing arts center never gets old, and

BK Jackson

gets to step into that spotlight for this “Party In the Bay” show.

The saxophonist spent four years as part of Prince’s 11-piece New Power Generation Hornz band and currently tours with New Orleans living legend Trombone Shorty (who is headed to Tampa this fall).

This headlining gig finds the smooth jazz composer also collecting supplies for Hillsborough Education Foundation.

Tickets to see BK Jackson play Jaeb Theater at Tampa’s David A. Straz Center for the Performing Arts on Saturday, Aug. 10 are still available and priced dynamically.
