The July/August 2015 Denver Jazz Club Newsletter is Here!

The July/August 2015 Denver Jazz Club Newsletter is now available for download.

There is info on the July 19th performance of Your Father’s Mustache Band. The theme for the session will be the roaring 20’s and everyone is encouraged to wear clothing from that period. There may also be several antique cars in the parking lot to look at.  

The newsletter will also cover the annual potluck picnic, including the performance of the Fat City Mardi Gras Band on Sunday, August 16th. Everyone is encouraged to bring a dish to share – salad, appetizer, dessert or snack. The Denver Jazz Club furnishes brats, burgers, hot dogs and drinks.

Jul-Aug 2015

You will also find columns by the Denver Jazz Club Youth All-Stars, Peter Robinson and John Sobott. The Evergreen Vintage and Summit Jazz Festivals are also announced, along with info on upcoming piano auditions to fill the vacancy within the DJC Youth All-Stars.  

Say, do you want an easy way to help out the club? It’s simple – just give us your email address! The club can save up to $2,000.00 in expenses simply by emailing the newsletter instead of printing and mailing it. For those of you who have already supplied us with your email address, THANK YOU!
