We are very excited to welcome Vaughn Willis back to Westside this Friday night. Come ready to dance the night away with one of the hottest performers in the Phoenix-Metro Area!
"SWIF" (born Vaughn Willis) is a dynamic singer and musician from Detroit, MI. SWIF was taught to sing by his mother at a very young age. His dad played the organ in church, and wowed crowds with his skills on the harmonica. Influenced by his father, Vaughn was given his first harmonica at the age of 4 and he has never stopped playing. SWIF never received significant formal musical training, but because he was raised around singers and musicians, his ear for music is very strong and has helped him learn to play the piano, bass, guitar, harmonica, and even hand percussion instruments.

Join us for an afternoon of Jazz with world renowned upright bassist Corcoran Holt, accompanied by an astounding group of musicians.
As a keeper of the rhythm, Corcoran began his study of upright bass at the age of 10 with the renowned DC Youth Orchestra (DCYOP). Soon he learned that his great- grandfather, with whom he shares a birthday, was a bass player who grew up in High Point, NC and lived next door to a very young John Coltrane. Legend has it that he gave Trane music lessons. Corcoran feels called to the bass and his work is about honoring the ancestors.
While continuing his classical training at DCYOP, Corcoran attended the prestigious Duke Ellington School of the Arts in Washington DC from 1996 to 2000, where he studied classical bass with Carolyn Kellock and jazz music with educators Davey Yarborough, the late great Keter Betts and Steve Novasel. During these high school years, Corcoran realized his affinity for the jazz and honed his performance skills by working frequently on the Washington DC jazz scene.
Always performing, he completed a Bachelors of Arts in Jazz Studies from Shenandoah Conservatory in 2004, where he studied bass with Michael Bowie. He received his Masters degree in Jazz Studies from Queens College in New York City in 2006 under the tutelage of Buster Williams, Michael Phillip Mossman, and Antonio Hart.
