We're back... 'bout time, eh?

Well, so much for having to wait "'til the cows come home" to hear Jazz returning to Saint Luke's!

We're bringing back our Jazz at the Church concert series on the patronal feast of our parish, with Steve Sandner and Friends doing a 3pm concert on Sunday, October 17, 2010.

It's billed as a Sunday Jazz Jam, and that means that we'll have cats sittin' in during the concert!

As it always is when Steve's present, it promises to be a GREAT afternoon, and we are now in the process of getting the jazzers together, and will publish the "house band" members as soon as possible.

But please do remember, Steve is back in the Midwest now, so it'll take a bit of patience and time before we can publish the makeup of the group!

For now, put the date on your calendar, think about what friends of yours are jazz afficionados, and get ready for a great afternoon of gifted improvisation by talented musicians!

Enjoy the music "machine" to the right, and block out Sunday, October 17, 2010, so that you'll be with us!

Here's Sunday's "piano man!"

Sunday's Valentine's Day concert will include pianist Steve Sander, as he accompanies Renee Patrick and George Grant in their "Daughter and Dad Duo Plus One" concert.

Steve also "gigs" at Saint Luke's as the parish organist/pianist, to our delight!!

Here's a video of Steve playing the jazz standard by Saul Chaplin & Sammy Cahn, "Please Be Kind," with his quintet in Michigan last Summer...

Renee's coming to SJATC on Sunday!

Renee Patrick is coming back to Sedona Jazz at the Church on Sunday - Valentine's Day - with her Dad, George Grant!

It'll be quite an afternoon, with Steve Sandner rounding out a Valentine Trio of Love-ly Jazz music and ballads.

Click the "Next Concert" picture to the right for more information and tickets, and here's Renee giggin' over in Payson a few years ago with our friend Judy Roberts and her trio (Judy on Piano; the multi-talented Greg Fishman, this time on Bass; Gerry Reynolds, drums)...

Nina Simone: "How it feels to be free"

I wonder... what Nina would have sung today?
