Chloe Feoranzo
and Friends
July 19
|
| |
Chloe Feoranzo, wizard of the reed instruments, will perform
with some distinguished musical friends at the AFCDJS monthly
concert-dance on July 19.
Chloe has appeared at jazz
festivals with a wide-ranging assortment of bands. Currently
she enjoys well-deserved status as a guest artist on the
festival circuit. Later this year, be sure to hear her at the
Sweet & Hot Music Festival, the Pismo Beach Jubilee By The
Sea, the Suncoast Dixieland Classic and of course the San
Diego Thanksgiving Dixieland Jazz Festival.
On July 19,
she will play with guitarist Joey Carano, bassist Rob Thorsen
and pianist Jason Wanner. Joey is well known for his work with
Bobby Gordon at Milligan’s in La Jolla. Rob has performed with
too many “name” musicians to list here. Jason Wanner is a
recent transplant from Fresno; a longtime member of the Blue
Street Jazz Band.
With this lineup, expect to hear
swinging jazz standards played by top musicians from America’s
Finest City!
Note: Bobby Gordon was originally
scheduled to appear on July 19, but was forced to cancel due
to an upcoming surgical procedure. We have rescheduled Bobby
for the concert on Nov. 15. Meanwhile, we wish him a speedy
recovery and a quick return to playing! |

September 20 |
|
|
 |
|
|
Ragtime and
early jazz are the specialties of the Heliotrope Ragtime
Orchestra. The group attracts dancers in Ragtime Era attire,
who are familiar with the fancy dance steps of yesteryear. Cornetist Bruce Vermazen and pianist Bob
Pinsker co-lead the orchestra. Their bandmates are: Daniel and
Cheryl Swem, violins; Fernando Herrera, flute and piccolo;
Everett Crouse, clarinet; Ed Henson, cornet; Alan Adams,
trombone; Patrick McMahon, tenor sax; John Winkelman, tuba;
and Ed Ducharme, drums.
You don’t have to know how to dance the
Texas Tommy or the Cakewalk to enjoy dancing to the Heliotrope
Ragtime Orchestra. But if you do those steps, Sept. 20 at the
Mississippi Room is the place to be! |

concert dance on Nov. 15.
Gordon is a living
legend, having played with jazz greats such as Wild Bill
Davison, Muggsy Spanier, Bobby Hackett, the Jim Cullum Jazz
Band and others. His latest CD, “Bobby Gordon Plays Joe
Marsala: Lower Register” (Arbors 19352) was nominated as one
of the top 10 jazz CDs of 2008 by jazz critic Martin Richards,
of Jazz Journal International.
Gordon, a longtime San
Diego resident, has assembled a great quartet, featuring
vocalist Ramona DeRyan. Guitarist Joey Carano was the
guitarist during Gordon’s long-running gig at Milligan’s in La
Jolla. Bassist Rob Thorsen is one of the most respected
bassists in jazz.
The quartet appeared most recently on
Sunday nights at La Scala Italian Restaurant in the Point Loma
area of San Diego.
