Because of the pandemic, our Jazz@StBarney's series is on hiatus until next summer. We hope to resume with a summer series or festival including all or most of the talented artists who were scheduled for this season to kick us back into gear in the fall of 2021.

Our 2019-2020 Season of Jazz@StBarney's

03/22/2019

Sam Miltich & the Clearwater Hot Club (Doug Haining, Chris Bates, & Jay Eptein round out the group) take the stage this evening at 7.

They are dedicated to preserving the repertoire and instrumentation of the Jazz Manouche style pioneered by Manouche Roma jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt. Much of the repertoire played in this group are songs either performed or written by Django Reinhardt, though other styles of music such as French Musette, Brazilian choro, and Eastern European folk music are interpreted through the musical lens and technique of the Jazz Manouche style.

In recent years Sam Miltich has written original works of music in the jazz manouche style, giving credence to the roots and traditions of the music while bringing a fresh new voice to it.

Connie Evingson, Mary Louise Knutson and Dave Karr gave a record crowd (they beat the old high by 30 people) a Master Class in jazz tonight at SBCA! What an amazing singer Connie is - every time I hear her, I'm blown away anew. Mary Louise was her usual stellar self, using every key on the piano (and perhaps a few that weren't) in magical riffs - she'll be back with her trio in April. And saxman Dave tore the house down with his rides on "When I'm 64."

What a wonderful night of jazz from 3 exceptional performers!

Author Neil Gaiman shared this as a New Year's wish a decade ago; it seems as wonderful as ever now:

"May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams and good madness. I hope you read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks you're wonderful, and don't forget to make some art -- write or draw or build or sing or live as only you can. And I hope, somewhere in the next year, you surprise yourself."

And a few years later, he had this to say:

"...I hope you will have a wonderful year, that you'll dream dangerously and outrageously, that you'll make something that didn't exist before you made it, that you will be loved and that you will be liked, and that you will have people to love and to like in return. And, most importantly (because I think there should be more kindness and more wisdom in the world right now), that you will, when you need to be, be wise, and that you will always be kind."

May all this and more be yours in 2017.
