The Austin Jazz Workshop’s Annual Silent Auction and Live Music Festival took place on April 14th, 2018. But it’s not too late to support our outreach project in Austin public schools–just click on the orange button at right!
Pam, Tara, and Rosita wind up another successful auction at Joe’s Crab Shack!
Many thanks to our friends at Joe’s Crab Shack for hosting us again, and our Board of Directors who donated and worked the event, with an Extra Jazzy Shoutout to Rosita Bradham, taking over as Auction Coordinator this year and coming through with flying colors! Lots of folks scooped up bargains in support of the Austin Jazz Workshop.
Ponder East’s LBJ Jazz Band has kicked off the event the past three years. This year, the Jaguar Combo played an energetic set of jazz standards!
Austin Jazz Workshop Quartet’s set drew heavily on jazz legend Sonny Rollins. From left: Shawn Ellison, Michael Stevens, Kenny Felton, and Michael Melinger.
We also heard great music from the LBJ Jaguar Jazz Combo, the Bowie High School Jazz Band, the Austin Jazz Workshop, and Julie Slim and RendezVous. Many thanks to band directors Ponder East, Ryan Thomas, and Miguel Perez, and all the kids who came out and played. Great sounds from everyone!
