Larry Halpern's group of area jazz musicians will present selections from "Porgy and Bess" at 6:30 p.m. on Dec. 30 at the Emporium's Friday night wine-tasting. While developing new arrangements for this performance, Halpern trimmed the opera to a suitable size and translated vocal lines into instrumental melodies, the Springfield News-Sun reports. The band includes Halpern (organ), Mike Teckenbrock (flugelhorn), Mark Smarelli (vibraphone), Erik Greiffenhagen (saxophone), Gail Keen (flute) and Lee McKinney (percussion).
