Jazz at the Oxford Presents - John Lloyd Young - The Definitive Voice of Frankie Valli
Presented by Central Oregon Daily News
Produced by Patrick Lamb Productions
Tony and Grammy Award winner John Lloyd Young originated the role of Frankie Valli in Broadway’s Tony Award-winning Best Musical and international hit, JERSEY BOYS. For his performance as Valli, Mr. Young won the Lead Actor Tony, Drama Desk, Outer Critics Circle, and Theatre World Awards, becoming the only American actor in history to win all four leading actor awards for a Broadway debut. He sings lead vocals on the Platinum, Grammy Award-winning JERSEY BOYS Original Cast Recording. Young re-created his Broadway turn onscreen for director Clint Eastwood in Warner Bros.’ film adaptation of JERSEY BOYS.
Young’s interpretations of classic favorites and genre-bending knockouts range from nostalgic pop and R&B to jazz, Broadway, and beyond. His five-star-rated solo album of R&B standards is MY TURN… (2014).
Mr. Young is a former presidentially appointed Member of Barack Obama’s President’s Committee on the Arts and Humanities.

Meet the artists, participate in an open Q&A, even take part in the music with the FREE music education series hosted by Georges Bouhey at The Oxford Hotel. George has been an integral part of “Jazz At The Oxford” since its inception when this idea of a local jazz series actually came to fruition in his studio nearly 15+ years ago. Georges Bouhey has so generously contributed time and passion to the local community through the FREE Music Education Workshops, a large part of the Jazz at the Oxford Series. Georges has hosted and facilitated each workshop (nearly 50) with many of the world's top Jazz artists and is known throughout the region as a band leader, ace sideman (drums or keyboards), and as a compassionate music educator.
