Jazz St. Louis has announced some additions to the Jazz at the Bistro schedule for 2008, filling in dates that had been left open in the second half of their 2007-08 season. Most of the musicians and singers added to the schedule should be familiar to local listeners, including Hard Bop Heritage (January 11 and 12), Montez Coleman (January 25 and 26), Mardra and Reggie Thomas (February 8 and 9), Erin Bode (May 2 and 3) and Kim Massie (May 15 and 16).
In addition, JSL education director Phil Dunlap's band, the Legacy Jazz Quintet, will perform on March 21 and 22, and the Jazz St. Louis All-Stars, JSL's student ensemble, will play April 18 and 19. The Bistro also will continue the series of monthly Thursday night performances by the St. Louis Jazz Orchestra next year, with the SLJO taking the stage on February 7, March 6, April 3, and May 1.
Last, bur certainly not least, on Wednesday, April 16, the club will once again host a performance by some of the guest musicians in town for the Greater St. Louis Jazz Festival, including stellar session saxophonist Tom Scott (pictured), pianist Shelly Berg and trombonist Paul McKee, who will be backed by St. Louis' Jim Widner on bass and Miles Vandiver on drums.
Tickets for all these shows will go on sale next Thursday, December 14 via Metrotix.
