 Jazz Bridge is Celebrating the Life of Philly Joe Jones on his Birthday and you're invited!
The celebration begins at 8 p.m on July 15th with the Sticks & Tones Percussion Ensemble, featuring Randy Sutin, Harold Smith, Doc Gibbs, Craig McIver and Jim Miller. Then at 9:30 p.m. the Mickey Roker Quartet with Bootsie Barnes, Lee Smith and Lucas Brown take the stage. There will be film clips of Philly Joe Jones and folks will be on hand to talk about this great drummer's impact on Philly and jazz.
Tickets are $20 and ALL proceeds go to benefit local jazz and blues musicians in crisis because the owners of the club, Maureen and Mark Deninno and Glen Gerber, have generously donated their entire club for the evening! Tickets can be purchased at Chris' Jazz Cafe and online or at our Online Store.
