The Hilton School District Jazz Department and Hilton Music Boosters will present the 13th Annual Hilton Evening of Jazz on Friday, February 5 at 7 p.m. at Merton Williams Middle School, 200 School Lane, Hilton.
This year’s Evening of Jazz features five-time Grammy-winning musician Victor Wooten. Known for his solo recordings and tours, Wooten has performed as a member of the Grammy-winning Béla Fleck and The Flecktones.

He was voted Bassist of the year by Bass Player Magazine three times – the only person to have won the award more than once.
