[Dixielandjazz] special jazz concert in Scottsdale, Arizona

[acjspres at aol.com]

The 52nd Street Jazz Band is returning to the Sacred Grounds  Coffee House on 
Thursday, Sept. 28 at 7:30 pm.
 
We are going to video tape our entire show and produce a  20 minute DVD with 
highlights from the evening. This is your chance to get your  10 seconds of 
fame by being in the audience as the camera pans the group for  their reaction 
to our performance. (The only requirement is that you scream and  yell and jump 
up and down throughout the evening:).
 
This DVD will be used to promote the band and assist us in  getting gigs in 
the future. We also plan to have 30 second clips of the show  available on a 
website for all to view.
 
Please join us next Thursday for a wonderful evening of  jazz from the 
twenties and thirties. The 52nd Street Jazz Band is the most  popular jazz band in 
this area when it comes to Chicago style dixieland and New  Orleans jazz. We 
will have a very special guest vocalist....Cheryl Stevens will  be singing songs 
from this period. She has recently moved back to Phoenix and we  are 
fortunate to be able to enjoy her amazing vocals. For this style of jazz she  has no 
equal.  
 
The band, as usual, will consist of Gary Church on Cornet,  Kevin Krull on 
trombone, Cheryl Thurston on piano, Danny Shannon on bass,  Madelyn Roberts on 
guitar and Caesar Rob on drums.  Joe Hopkins is the  clarinet player and leader 
of the group. He formed the band four years ago and  plays often for the 
young Lindy Hop crowd led by his son, Dabney (a professional  swing dancer). 
Dabney and Janet will be demonstrating the Lindy Hop as part  of the show.
 
Directions:  Sacred Grounds is located at Scottsdale  Congregational United 
Church of Christ, 4425 N. Granite Reef Rd, Scottsdale, AZ  between Indian 
School and Camelback Roads.  From the 101 take the Indian  School Rd exit and turn 
west and go to the second light (Granite Reef Rd) and  turn right.  The church 
is on the right side of the street about 1/4  mile.

SEE YOU THERE!  BRING THE KIDS to a great place to hear great  jazz with NO 
Smoking.  Gourmet desserts and coffee are available.   They request a $5.00 
donation at the door.
