The Jazz Voyager
The Jazz Voyager is departing NOLA for the Mountain Time Zone of Phoenix, Arizona with the next destination being a jazz spot called The Nash. Named for internationally renowned drummer and Phoenix native Lewis Nash. As one of the reat jazz venues in the world, the club is not only a music room but an education facility that is a community of jazz enthusiasts and musicians who build on the past to create a modern musical experience.
Taking the stage for this Saturday’s performance is Beth Lederman with her group Jazz Con Alma. They feature jazz that grooves and draws from latin rhythms, taking standards and pop music and adding their own special twists. From Coltrane and Gershwin to the Beatles and Stevie Wonder, they play anything that embraces the creativity which embodies jazz is fair game. Jazz Con Alma consists of saxophonist Mary Petrich, bassist Jon Murray, Adam Clark on drums and percussionist Frank Valdes.
The Nash is located at 110 E. Roosevelt Street 85004 . For more information visit https://notoriousjazz.com/event/beth-lederman.
