THANK YOU! Thank you to all who supported the inaugural season of “All Saints Jazz” and made this year a reality. The Jazz series was conceived as a way to give back to our community. While there are many fine venues for great music, there are not enough places in the West Valley to hear the music of the Great American Songbook. Our goal is to entertain you with great music performed by the finest professional musicians in the valley. Please join us on the first Sunday of the month, October through April. Sit back, relax, and enjoy a wonderful evening of music! [Ticket information at the bottom of the page.]All concerts begin at 6:30pm, the first Sunday of the month, and are subject to change. OCTOBER 5, 2008 Blue, Blues & Boogie Woogie Award Winning vocalist, Joe Bourne, teams up with the top-class Boogie Woogie pianist, Arthur Migliazza, to take you on an exciting, high energy, and versatile musical journey with an eclectic blend of great vocal and instrumental repertoire. Joe says he has been greatly inspired by Nat King Cole and Lou Rawls. He has traveled the globe, receiving awards in Ireland and Bulgaria, and just recently appeared with the Cleveland Pops. Arthur, a graduate of U of A, has been a featured performer at the Cincinnati Blues Fest as well as the annual Blues & Boogie Summit in Newport, NY. He has also appeared at several European venues and in Japan. He is the recipient of the Tucson Tammies Award for Best Pianist. We're so sorry if you missed this one -- it was terrific!!! NOVEMBER 2, 2008 Sahnas Blending the sounds and rhythms of their native Greek culture with the warm, inviting romance of the classical Spanish guitar, brothers Thano and Demitri Sahnas have created a magical and intimate Mediterranean style that defies description. Their original compositions as well as their arrangements are too exciting for words. The passion of their music combined with the exciting interaction they have with the audience promises to keep you on the edge of your seats-if not dancing in the aisles. We bought lots of CD's - some for listening now -- some for Christmas gifts! No one's fingers can move that fast on a guitar - unbelieveable! DECEMBER 7, 2008 Santa’s Babies Judy Roberts, 5 time Grammy nominee and named “Chicago’s Favorite Jazz Woman,” now makes Phoenix home when not out touring. You are sure to enjoy this high energy woman and her sensual singing style melded with a pianistic approach that is both hard swinging and sensitive. Vickie McDermott is well known in the valley and has played many of the jazz hot spots including The Boulders Resort and Timothy’s in Scottsdale. Her vocal skills allow her to tackle a wide variety of musical styles, including gospel as well as jazz. This promises to be a high spirited show with two great personalities. {Promises kept -- and a lovely pre-Christmas gift with lots of music of the season. } JANUARY 4, 2009 Dino DeLuca Captivating audiences across the USA and on cruise ships around the world, this Italian singer, whose repertoire includes Tony Bennett, Bobby Darin, and Frank Sinatra, is not to be missed. Named after Dean Martin, he says he grew up on Engelbert Humperdinck who his mother listened to 24/7. FEBRUARY 1, 2009 Sun City Stomperz Organized recently as a result of playing together in many jam sessions around the West Valley, these musicians are dedicated to perpetuating and preserving traditional jazz as an art form. These experienced musicians, who now live in or near Sun City, love performing in concerts and festivals in the typical New Orleans’ style. You will be clapping your hands and tapping your feet with this Dixieland group. MARCH 1, 2009 Dennis Rowland with the Jazz Experience This valley favorite, with his rich and creamy baritone voice has toured the world with the Count Basie orchestra and appeared with the likes of Ella Fitzgerald and Tony Bennett. In 2004, he was a headliner at the Moscow International Jazz Festival honoring the Count on his 100th Birthday. In October 2007, Dennis was the featured vocalist in Germany at the Oct Festaal Maxipak honoring Count Basie. Here at home in September 2007, he was chosen to open the 60th anniversary season of the Phoenix Symphony. APRIL 5, 2009 Margo Reed Arizona Jazz Magazine’s “Best Female Jazz Vocalist” in 2004 brings this season to a close. Known as one of the valley Divas, Margo infuses her music with her joy and passion.
