January 17, 2016 – Madison Jazz Jam

For January’s second MJJ session, the Jam’s house band includes trombonist Darren Sterud and a rhythm section of Dave Stoler on piano, Ben Ferris on bass and drummer Michael Brenneis.  The first set’s featured tune is the late saxophonist Frank Foster’s “Blues at Hoss’ Flat,” a piece he wrote in the 1950s for the Count Basie band (which Foster led after Basie’s passing in 1984).  4:00-7:00 PM, Bourbon Street Grille, 6308 Metropolitan Lane (on the west bank of the Yahara River, between Bridge Road and Broadway).  Free admission, but donations are gratefully accepted.  http://madisonjazzjam.org/
