The Tampa Jazz Club is very proud to announce a new season of concerts, at a great new venue. We hope you’ll join us for these Sunday shows in Ybor City – and tell your friends, too! We’ll be presenting concerts in co-operation with Hillsborough Community College, as part of the HCC Visual & Performing Arts Series, in the beautifully renovated Performing Arts Building Theater. It’s on the NE corner of Palm and 14th St. in Ybor City, with plenty of free parking nearby. SUNDAY, JANUARY 31, at 3:00 p.m. Ira Sullivan with special guests Marty Morell Michael Royal Richard Drexler We welcome multi-instrumentalist Ira Sullivan for his annual sojourn to the Tampa Bay area. This former Chicago modernist has been a South Florida mainstay for many years and his Tampa events are always memorable. Joining Ira this year a fine trio: Marty Morell (drums) Marty got his start with the likes of Al Cohn and Zoot Sims and is probably best know for his seven year stint in the Bill Evan's trio during a particularly creative phase. He's since gone on to record with Stan Getz and Rob McConnell and most recently toured with the Duke Ellington Orchestra. He currently resides in Orlando. Michael Royal (piano) Michael is a long time Tampa and Sarasota favorite who has also worked and performed with Red Rodney, Clifford Jordan and Mel Lewis. Richard Drexler (bass) A favorite session bassist in Tampa since 1985 Richard also doubles on piano. He's recorded with Jeff Berlin, Stanley Clarke, Woody Herman Orchestra and Ira Sullivan. Always deep and intriguing, Richard provides the perfect backdrop to this great trio. And, of course, he'll be bringing his lobster. |
