Just to name a few.
If you have not heard of some of the listed artists….please seek them out and treat yourself to great music.
Coming up: A great 2018
Look for great events in 2018 from Jazz Pensacola.
The Jazz Gumbos continue to be well-attended events. This month will feature the music of Herb Alpert and Chuck Mangione! Presented by Dr. Brian Taylor and Friends.
Our Super Jazz Gumbo in February will feature the music of New Orleans with The Village Brass and The Seville Saints. From Second-Line to Dixieland to Swing to Funk! It will be an evening not to miss!
Our JazzFest will be another great event. The line-up will have music for everyone, from straight-ahead jazz to smooth jazz to island jazz to big band to jazz-fusion! Not to mention our middle, high school and college bands!
We have all the information here on the site.
Yes, 2018 is here! As the man said, you ain’t heard nothin’ yet!
At your service.
