Weber State University Department of the Performing Arts and the Union Station Foundation present Jazz at the Station with Brian Booth and Friends in the Grand Lobby of Ogden's Union Station. Booth last performed with this program in January 2007 to a packed house. The featured performer is Brian Booth, saxophone. Brian resides in Utah and received a degree in music from the University of Utah. Brian Booth has been a professional free-lance musician since the early 1980's. He has performed with his own groups and with many of the premier groups from around the area. He has also performed with the Utah Symphony, backing many notables including Mel Torme, Frank Sinatra Jr., Maureen McGovern, Natalie Cole, Lou Rawls, Rosemary Clooney, Johnny Mathis, Ray Charles, Bernadette Peters, Debbie Reynolds, and many others. Brian is also a member of the Salt Lake City Jazz Orchestra (SLCJO) where he plays lead tenor, and has written numerous works which have been performed by the band. Through his association with SLCJO, Brian has had the opportunity to perform with many of the top jazz musicians in the world: Eddie Daniels, Phil Woods, Bill Watrous, Chuck Fendley, Don Menza, Pete Chriestlieb, Nancy Wilson, Patty Austin, and several others. He has been the featured performed at jazz festivals throughout the west. In 2002, Brian partnered up with former school mate and professional trombonist Kevin Stout to produce and release three cd's. 'Good Pals' 'Up Jazz Creek' and 'Tales of the Tetons' all received national airplay with 'Good Pals' climbing the national jazz chart to number 23. Jazz at the Station provides an all-ages venue for jazz fans and students. Well behaved children are welcome to attend as long as they do not disturb the performers or members of the audience.
