✔️ Monday Night Jazz Series w/John Clayton An alum of the Count Basie Orchestra brings decades of jazz knowledge to the University of South Florida, and even if you didn’t catch John Clayton back then (or at jazz festivals around the globe), you still know his work. The 65-year-old bassist’s name appears in credits for songs by Paul McCartney, Diana Krall and even Queen Latifah, but Tampa lifers should show up to thank him for the incredible arrangement that propelled Whitney Houston’s revered 1991 performance of the “Star-Spangled Banner” before Super Bowl XXV at the old Sombrero.
