The Jazz Voyager
Taking to the friendly skies to once again masked and safely flying into Lambert International to catch some jazz in The Lou. Looking forward to catching up with a friend, meet new ones and enjoying an incredible evening of music at Jazz St. Louis. Three amazing musicians, Tia Fuller, Mimi Jones and Matt Wilson top off their residency of workshops, clinics, masterclasses and jam sessions with students to give the public a taste of their talent. Two nights, two sets each evening at 7:30 and 9:30 pm
Of course while I’m in this city I’ll take in the Gateway Arch, sit by the mighty Mississippi River, visit the Griot Museum, walk through the Botanical Gardens, and spend an afternoon at the George B. Vashon Museum that was built in 1879 on the city’s historic Millionaire’s Row. This museum hosts 250 years of 10,000 artifacts and treasures chronicling Black history in St. Louis.
There is no mention of a cover or reservations required. I guess I’ll be dropping in a little before showtime. The address for Jazz St. Louis is 3536 Washington Avenue, St. Louis, Missouri 63103. For more information, the number is 314-571-6000 or jazzstl.org.

NEGRONI’S TRIO
The Aventura Jazz Festival presented by Lion Tribe Group presents three-time Latin GRAMMY®-nominated group Negroni’s Trio as part of a two day celebration of outstanding music performances. The Jazz takes place in Aventura!
Negroni’s Trio possesses enough musical experience to captivate listeners of any musical genre and is seducing and entertaining audiences across all continents. Negroni’s Trio is comprised of a “father and son team”, José Negroni, on piano and keyboards, Nomar Negroni, on drums and percussions, completing the trio is bassist Rafael Valencia. The Negroni team have worked together since 2002 as Co-Founders and Co-Producers to form an ensemble of master musicians who create their own unique voice in traditionally known jazz classics, Latin jazz and jazz fusion. Taking musical risks with performance and repertoire, the result is an array of classic lyricism mixed with innovative and sincere improvisations that quenches the audience’s thirst for world class jazz.
