A huge thanks goes out to Geoff Caputo who set up Jaco Jam 2009. Without his hard and persistent work of planning and coordinating the musicians, as well as arrange the set list we could have not pulled this event off. Geoff Caputo; you shred in all your ways!!! A big thank you also goes out to all the musicians who generously contributed their talents for this benefit:

Kevin Williams

Kenny Walker

Most importantly the bottomline: We raised $863 for David Via.  Miracles still happen! We also had a video camera going around for people to give David a personal message. We’ll keep you updated on his progress and hope to see him out of the hospital soon!

Speaking of community and good music:
The Monthly Java N’ Jazz Jamsession this Wednesday night will be featuring: Bassist Elias Tona, JT drums, Jeremy Powell: saxophone , and Peter Mongaya: guitars. Elias is an amazing bass talent who moved from Miami last year, check him out he’s great! Our beloved house drummer JT is back in town for a short while before he goes out on a long stint on the road again. It should all be good fun!!

Come out and hang for a good time of
jazz/rock/funk/fusion/polka/punk/drum n’ bass fun-fest.  We’ll try to cover a wide base of music for the evening. Hopefully a little bit of everything. Past jams has included music by Hendrix, J.S. Bach, Scofield, Nirvana, Coltrane, Chick Corea,  GN’R, lullabyes, Hymns,  and Beatles etc. for the evening………. Please come out and join the impressionist shred-fest; it is always fun to meet new faces and musicians!

A very good time indeed to hang with fellow Tampa Bay musicians and build community/connections/creativity, as well as gobble up a ton of caffeine and sugar.
