Dave Tull Quartet May 2019

2019-05-28T22:24:36-07:00

Where do you begin to describe a music artist such as Leader/Composer/Lyricist/Arranger/Vocalist/Drummer Dave Tull? Mid afternoon May 19, he modestly explained to the Santa Barbara Jazz Society, “I’m a drummer who sings”, yet that barely scratches the surface of Tull’s multi- musical gifts! With his casual manner, Dave certainly made it look easy, belting [...]

Kristin Korb Trio March 2019

2019-03-28T13:24:32-07:00

Kristin Korb’s most recent performance in Santa Barbara can be described as going from the ridiculous to the sublime…but in a good way! Super-cali-frgil-istic-expi-ali-dociousis a somewhat ridiculous tune and I Want to Be Loved was definitely sublime. Kristin and her guys showed us that they can do it all….and with ease. Kristin has a super [...]

Emmet Cohen Trio February 2019

2019-03-11T11:42:05-07:00

The Emmet Cohen Trio’s third appearance for The Santa Barbara Jazz Society Feb. 17th was by far their most impressive performance to date! It would have been hard to imagine how this trio of young, New York-based jazz musicians could have sounded any better than last year’s event at SOhO music club, but with [...]

The Idiomatques November 2019

2018-11-15T14:34:52-08:00

Santa Barbara has had more than its share of calamities of late, but with last Sunday’s fire so close to home, we could see a ray of sunshine through the smoke. With the closure of highway 101, the Hollywood Jazz Quartet was forced to postpone their concert. We were so lucky to book the [...]

Mads Tolling with Jacob Fischer October 2018

2018-11-04T12:52:24-08:00

Our October concert certainly broadened our jazz horizons. Rather than our usual straight ahead jazz by a trio or larger band, we were treated to the duo of Danish musicians, violinist Mads Tolling and guitarist Jacob Fischer. What they lacked in number, they made up for with excellence in taste and execution. They were [...]
