Redding Jazz, by Joyce Covey

OOM-PA-PA ! DIXIELAND IS OUR CUPPA' TEA!!

So, do you want a smorgasbord of jazz? With an active membership of close to 400 'Jazzers', our Jazz Society gathers every third Sunday from 1-5pm. You're invited to our monthly Sunday Concert at the Elks Lodge on the Sacramento River.

These rendezvous (c'est what?) are seasoned with good vibrations, salted and peppered with energy and rhythm! Admission is free if you are under 18, members pay just $6. The monthly raffle helped support scholarships, offered to high school graduates intending to study music in college. Currently, we hope to build a Youth Band with available Raffle funds and volunteer professional musicians. Our JAZZ SOCIETY raffle also supports young musicians attending the Sacramento Summer Jazz Camp.

MONTHLY GUEST BANDS (to date) are shown in the Newsletter Highlights section. Look for your favorites and plan to visit: Complete Guest Band List
