Preserving, supporting, and encouraging traditional jazz since 1954.
On Sunday, August 16th, from 1:30 to 5pm, it’s the annual Denver Jazz Club Potluck Picnic, at the home of Decker and Ann Westerberg (310 Shadycroft Dr) in Littleton. This year, the Denver Jazz Club will unfortunately NOT furnish brats, burgers, hot dogs or drinks. We ask that you wear a mask, and bring your own food and beverage of choice. We also ask that you bring your own chair if possible, as we will not be renting chairs this year (though a limited number will be available). Plan to enjoy an afternoon of great music and socializing – at a protective distance from one another. Admission is $8.
At the picnic it’s the terrific sounds of The Leaders Band, comprised of the leaders of several popular metro Denver jazz groups: Trumpet: Kevin Bollinger; Clarinet/Sax: Lance Acker; Trombone: Marti Henry; Vocals: Wende Harston; Piano: Chris Calabrese or Ray Leake; Bass/Tuba: Bill Clark; and Drums: John Akal.
The Denver Jazz Club Youth All-Stars will perform from 1:30-2pm, and in between the 3 sets of the Band Leaders Band.
There is info on the August 16th Annual Denver Jazz Club Potluck Picnic, featuring The Leaders Band. You will also find an article on the 65th Anniversary of the Denver Jazz Club, along with David Hewitt’s “Remembering Walt Hewitt” memorial of our wonderful Denver Jazz Club Treasurer. The Denver Jazz Club Youth All-Star page includes the photos of the graduating members, along with the announcement of the 2020-21 band musicians, who have been recently selected. Their newest CD, “Swingin’ Through the Pandemic,” is now available for purchase.
