Homage to the Message Series

Saturday June 28 doors 6:30pm, show at 7 pm * $10-30

Come celebrate the soulful quintessential 1950s hard bop compositions of original Jazz Messengers with hosts Ramsey Isaacs and James Zeller. In the words of Art Blakey “We are here to have a ball, so we want you to leave your worldly troubles outside and come in here and swing.”

James Zeller joins forces with young drumming phenom Ramsey Isaacs to present a series of concerts honoring Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers. The Jazz Messengers began as a collective group in the 1950s and continued for over 35 years ending with Art Blakey‘s passing in 1990. An incredible number of jazz luminaries were at one time “Jazz Messengers”, including Lee Morgan, Wayne Shorter, Freddie Hubbard, Cedar Walton, Curtis Fuller, Kenny Dorham and Benny Golson, just to name a few.

The series will take place once…
