Both musicians thrived and grew into substantial careers, Wendholt has become an NYC jazz mainstay. Wendholt, born and raised in Denver, and MacAskie, a Denver resident for 6 years, meet again on the Dazzle stage- a night full of meaning for these old friends and sure to be filled with the joy of jazz music.
