The James Suggs Quintet ‘gets the blues’ at the next Tampa Jazz Club concert in the Mainstage Theatre at HCC/Ybor City, on Sunday, April 21 at 3 p.m. These shows are part of HCC’s Visual & Performing Arts Series, and this exciting concert will be the finale to the current TJC season.

Trumpeter James Suggs has been a major part of the Bay Area jazz scene for a decade, following eight years of living and performing in Buenos Aires. His appearances at major venues and festivals have earned James a devoted following, and he has taught at USF’s School of Music since 2018. Trombonist James Wall has been delighting audiences as a player and bandleader in recent years and is an ideal front-line partner for Suggs. And this stellar band is rounded out by pianist John O’Leary, bassist Alejandro Arenas, and drummer Mark Feinman – known collectively as La Lucha, the trio at the heart of Tampa Bay music for years.

Together, they’ll explore The Blues in Jazz, and play some original arrangements of blues-related classics. You can’t miss, with a band this good playing tunes like that – in the beautiful Mainstage Theatre!
