Can’t make it to Sacramento for the 10th Annual Hot Jazz Labor Day Weekend Jubilee?

We have a premier New Orleans jazz duo for you Saturday, the 30th!

Marc Caparone on trumpet, and singing, and Jeff Hamilton on piano, two highly regarded practitioners of the art of trad jazz from New Orleans’ Congo Square and Preservation Hall and many an offshoot, will entertain you with two sets of jazz sweet and hot!

The New Orleans originators of jazz music steamed up from the Gulf Coast through the bayou and out of Dixie on the Mississippi riverboats to Memphis, St. Louis and Davenport, from which it was just a short hop to Chicago and on to Detroit and New York City… and the other distant metropoli, way out west to the territories, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Portland, Seattle…

Marc and Jeff promise a sweet and hot experience of that diaspora to relish and remember.

Get your fix of this great music in Glen Park tonight…

You can always get another dose of hot jazz of various stripes on a run up to Sacramento on Sunday…

Drummer Benny Amón organized tonight’s show, but has fallen ill and can’t make it tonight. This concert is in his honor. We’ll get him back on our stage just as soon as we’re able.

Benny was raised on the music in the Sacramento area, got his degree at UC Berkeley, then spent a decade in New Orleans under the tutelage of the Preservation Hall gang. He’s been a tremendous asset to the Bay Area music scene since he relocated out here a few years ago.
