TEMPE, ARIZONA (December 7, 2022) - Celebrated every April, Jazz Appreciation Month is known for bringing together communities worldwide to celebrate Jazz and learn about its history. Thanks to International Jazz Day AZ Foundation (IJDAZ) Founder and Executive Director William “Doc” Jones, the Arizona State Legislature passed HCR 2017 in 2019, declaring April Jazz Appreciation Month (JAM) and April 30th International Jazz Day in Arizona. Throughout the years, jazz has promoted peace, diversity, and freedom of expression, thus reinforcing the role of today's youth as active agents of social change.
International Jazz Day AZ Foundation is incredibly proud to again join forces with Mayor Corey Woods of Tempe present "From Gospel to Jazz Explosion Concert on April 8, 2023. We have a spectacular lineup featuring Stellar Award Winner Reggie Campbell, Smooth Jazz Billboard Artist saxophonist Neamen Lyles, and special guest Guitar Center Runner-up drummer of the year Fred Boswell Jr.

"Music has the power to unite people across borders; Gospel and Jazz have been doing that for years," said William 'Doc' Jones.
"The concert at the Tempe Arts Center will be a tribute to the Impact of the African American Experience of these two genres of Music.
International Jazz Day AZ Foundation, founded in 2015, is an Arizona-based non-profit organization led by William “Doc” Jones, a professional jazz musician and music educator. Jones has been working closely with Alfredo J. Molina, a philanthropist and owner of Molina’s Fine Jewelers, Keith Corley founder of The Corley Group, and Arizona state legislators to educate Arizonans and visitors on jazz music’s extraordinary heritage and history.
Starting from Cityscape in downtown Phoenix on April 30, 2013, the International Jazz Day AZ festival has expanded to Scottsdale, Mesa, and an annual “Jazz at Lunch” on the lawn at the Arizona State Capitol now moved to Civic Space Park in Phoenix, Arizona. The biggest testament to the festival’s growing popularity is three mayors from Scottsdale, Tempe, and Paradise Valley joining hands for the upcoming celebration to promote tourism in the state.

Rich with extraordinary heritage and cultural history, jazz music originated in the blues era in the early 20th century and bestowed the world with bebop tunes we can dance to all night. Recognized Internationally, Jazz Appreciation Month draws public attention to jazz and its extraordinary heritage throughout the month of April.
In December 2012, the United Nations General Assembly formally welcomed the decision by the UNESCO General Conference to proclaim April 30 as International Jazz Day, ( jazzdayaz.com).
The United Nations and UNESCO now both recognize International Jazz Day on their official calendars and with celebratory activities throughout the world.

The proceeds from the festival sponsor music programs in organizations such as Next Student Academy for the Arts, Molina’s School of Jazz, and the Doc’s Afterschool music program.” He added.
Our mission is to make live music available to the next generation. Jazz has the power to transform lives intellectually, emotionally, and socially. We truly believe that Jazz is a language that helps us listen, express, and create. We partner with Charter schools and community organizations in Arizona and develop jazz programs in collaboration with them. Every child has the right to quality music education, and we want to make it a reality.” Doc and Molina said.

Nayo Jones (pronounced Nīyō) was born in Chicago, Illinois into a family of musicians and was destined to be in show business. As an accomplished jazz musician and music educator, her father William “Doc” Jones groomed and nurtured her natural ability from a very young age. Nayo grew up listening to Jazz standards that proved to be a solid foundation and would later become a signature in her own show. Accomplished in her own right, Jones is also a classically trained flutist.
Currently, Nayo is based in New Orleans, LA where she performs regularly with her band “The Nayo Jones Experience.” In addition to her own show, Ms. Jones also tours alongside New Orleans iconic jazz trumpeter, Kermit Ruffins as a featured vocalist. She has also joined forces with the New Orleans Jazz Orchestra lead by Adonis Rose. She has been featured on their album as well as in live performances.
Nayo’s vocal range has been compared to the likes of Natalie Cole, Nancy Wilson, and even Whitney Houston. She has been the opening act for legendary George Benson, Chris Botti, and more.
Nayo has been on stage at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, French Quarter Fest, and many other Louisiana festivals annually since 2012. She has consistently drawn rave reviews for her performances. Nayo and her band, “The Nayo Jones Experience” has a longstanding residency at the Carousel Lounge located in the historic Hotel Monteleone and The Jazz Playhouse at the Royal Sonesta Hotel.
Nayo’s body of work includes her first original album “My Name is Nayo Jones”, a “Holiday Collection”, a compilation project featuring her dad Doc Jones, and her EP simply titled “Nayo”. Jones is excited about her latest project, “The Nayo Jones Experience Live at the Kerr Cultural Center”, which is a live performance recorded at the Kerr Cultural Center in Scottsdale, AZ in celebration of International Jazz Day.

Musician, Singer, Entertainer Chucky C Makes Thursdays Special @ Sweet Lorraine's |
|
by Lloyd Dennis (10/20.2022) - Charles Elam's stage name is "Chucky C", and I guarantee that you will enjoy his multi faceted and extremely talented Thursday performances at Sweet Lorraine's Jazz Club. His qualifications as one of New Orleans's most talented and versatile saxophone artists are undeniable. He's played with everybody who's anybody in New Orleans R&B and Blues, touring the world in the process. To that, he adds flute and harmonica virtuosity and an amazing vocal range and song stylings. The depth and breadth of his repertoire reflect his vast musical experiences.
It's easy for me to guarantee that you will enjoy his show because, in spite of his elite abilities, he is about making sure that the people in his audience have a really great time.
You will be amazed by his horn play, laugh at his sometimes hilarious antics and sing along with your favorite songs. In addition, his respect for his art has him engaging equally serious and able sidemen. His standard crew includes the talented fingers of Keith Venette on piano and keyboards and the Hamilton brothers Anthony on bass and Shannon on the drumset and percussion. You can't get a tighter rhythm section than these brothers who've played together since childhood. It's a badass band, y'all.
A great weekday date night, or an opportunity to reserve space for friends or family to hang out or celebrate at 8 PM every Thursday, and yes dining is available. I'm in there at least once or twice a month.
