What’s New at Jazzway 6004
Our third benefit for the Creative Alliance on October 29th hit a home run! Our master chef Dan Casucci was in great form serving up dishes like duck confit, and truffled mushroom crostini, wine braised short ribs, rockfish oregonato and lentil croquettes, healthy sides galore and a vast array of homemade desserts! Many, many thanks to all our volunteers – we couldn’t have done it without you!
The Joni Mitchell Tribute sold out and turned out to be one of the most popular concerts we’ve presented at Jazzway. Patrons remarked that this was the best CA fundraiser yet, and many told me with tears in their eyes that they were virtually transported back to their younger years and vivid personal memories associated with their favorite Joni tune. The project was brought to life through the brilliant talents of Alan Blackman (who did much of the arranging), Craig Alston, Eric Kennedy, Michael Raitzyk and Jeff Reed. We’ve been invited to take the concert to other venues in the area, so stay tuned while we refine and retune the show and start presenting it around town from about March 2012 on, culminating in a recording. I’ll be working on my new website too to keep everyone better informed about my upcoming concerts, new CD (finally!) and other news.
Pizzeria Venti! As you can see from our website, we are now partnering with Pizzeria Venti in Alexandria, Virginia to present more jazz in alternate locations. We expect to schedule at least 1 concert every other month at the new venue. Our partner at the Pizzeria is Angela Lacey and her contact info can be found on each of our event listings for Pizzeria Venti . Our first concert at Pizzeria Venti featured the masterful Craig Alston Quartet on October 8th and we had a great turnout! The Tim Green Quartet is featured next on November 19th. And sublime vocalist Sharon Clark and her all-star trio finish out this year at Pizzeria Venti on Saturday, December 3rd. Another Pizzeria Venti location is scheduled to open early next year in DC and we will be featuring jazz at that location, so watch our website for upcoming details.
On December 17th we are back at Jazzway 6004 in Baltimore with the George Colligan Trio and his special guest Tim Green.

New ticketing system – We have recently changed from Brown Paper Tickets, headquartered in Seattle to Instant Seats, which is DC based which offers more local promotion opportunities and convenience. This system allows you to print out your own tickets on-line. Tickets will also be available at the door (for Pizzeria Venti only), but unfortunately no phone sales are offered, and cash must be paid at the door, but we plan to add a credit card payment option at the door within the next few months.
All information for upcoming shows and on-line tickets can be found on www.jazzway6004.org
