Sedona Jazz at the Church: Renee Patrick & a night of jazz ballads

We've posted more information on one of the September jazz concerts at the church. It's the September 25th friday evening concert, that features Phoenix-based vocalist Renee Patrick, who will be teaming up with our own Steve Sandner on piano for an evening of jazz ballads.

The posting has a video of Renee singing with the Judy Roberts Trio, while gigging in Payson, Arizona. So, enjoy the video and the other information, and be sure to mark your calendar - it promises to be a GREAT evening. (And rumor has it that there's even going to be a bit of dancin' on the terrace following the conclusion of Renee's concert! You've heard that rumor, too? Ooo la la!)

Sedona Jazz at the Church

As many folk know, we've a series of concerts at the church called the Sedona Jazz at the Church Concert Series. Along with the series, we've also put up a few really great jazz videos on our YouTube site playlist, "Great Jazz Videos - Trumpets, Flugels, Conch, Drums, et al."

There are new pieces from pianists Judy Roberts and Jim Martinez, trombonist Steve Turre playing the conch, and Dizzy Gillespie and the United Nations Orchestra doing a piece featuring three great drummers (Ignacio Berroa, Airto Moreira and Giovanni Hidalgo) and singer Flora Purim.

The videos point to the creativeness of jazz musicians, and that when folk use the gifts God gives them, stunningly beautiful things can happen, so check out the new postings, as I am sure you will enjoy them.

And, of course - remember to check our Sedona Jazz at the Church Concert Series schedule for updates and additions, and mark your calendar so as not to miss any of these great nights at Saint Luke's!

An upcoming evening includes not only a night of jazz ballads, but dancing under the stars, too! Ooo la la!!!!

Laura & Jim

Our friends Laura Didier and Jim Martinez are giggin' and groovin' and sound absolutely great, as the TV interview below shows us. It's good to hear them, and we're hoping to have them back with us "early on" next year, to kick off our 2010 Sedona Jazz at the Church concert series for 2010. Here they are...
