Jazz At The Cherry is pleased to bring back Along Came Betty for another round of what has become a traditional December treat. Join us Sunday, December 8th, for some great music, wine and light fare–all included in the ticket price. This year’s program will pay tribute to pianist and prolific composer Biff Smith who passed away in June. Doors open at 1:30pm; performance begins at 2:00pm. Tickets are $35, available online at eventbrite.com.
Spark up your holiday spirit with some of the best bebob and straight-ahead jazz on the West Coast. Along Came Betty will delight you with their rich harmonized sax and trumpet, backed by the classic piano, bass and drums rhythm section.
This group of highly talented musicians (Bill Spencer, piano; Brian Stock, trumpet and flugelhorn; Paul Tarantino, saxophone; Pete Lips, bass; Patrick Tregenza, drums) has performed at many local and national jazz venues, including the Monterey Jazz Festival and the Big Sur Jazz Festival. Since 1998, they have been celebrating the spirit of hard-bop, a seminal movement of 50s and 60s jazz.
