10th Annual West Coast Jazz Party

Over Labor Day weekend, the 10th Annual West Coast Jazz Party at the Irvine Mariott, Irvine CA www.westcoastjazzparty.com will feature a full slate of straight ahead jazz players including Jack Sheldon, Kenny Drew, Jr., the Count Basie Orchestra with Butch Miles, The Four Freshmen, Terry Gibbs, Jeff Hamilton, Rob McConnell, Scott Hamilton, John Fedchock, Holly Hoffman, Bill Watrous and Red Holloway over the three day event.

This will be my fifth time for total straight ahead jazz immersion.

If you like straight ahead jazz, this is the place.

Clint,
I had a lot of fun there last year, but this year's lineup is leaving me less than impressed. The Four Freshmen?
I have been sitting with the ticket order form on my desk for a couple of weeks, and haven't been moved to respond. I may just go to the boat ride.

Elliot,

The Four Freshmen, who obviously are not the original guys, performed a couple of years ago and knocked the crowd out. The new guys have the same great jazz feeling of the originals. When I saw them they not only did some of their "greatest hits" but had some new material. I have always liked their sound.

The boat ride is, for sure, the high point every year. It usually sells out before anything else.

See you there.
