One of our favorite traveling jazzmen, Chuck Redd, is returning to the Palladium this Thursday. He’s playing vibes with the Nate Najar Trio, as they kick off our 2011-2012 Side Door season.
Over the past few years, the Side Door has become THE listening room for jazz, blues, folk, and lots of other genres. Our upcoming jazz shows include Nate and Chuck this Thursday, Valerie Gillespie and her Ensemble on Thursday, Oct. 6 and the 1960s exotica sounds of Stolen Idols, on Nov. 18.
Blues fans won’t want to miss the Toler-Tucci Band, on Oct. 7. The band features “Dangerous” Dan Toler, former guitarist for the Allman Brothers and the Gregg Allman Band, along with an all-star group. It will be a night of Southern rock and blues.
As for this week, Nate and Chuck should be in good form. Nate just returned from playing gigs and doing some recording with Chuck in the D.C. area.
Chuck has been here before with Nate and twice as a leader of the Statesmen of Jazz for Arbors Records. If you’ve never seen this bandleader and in-demand sideman, get down to the Side Door Cabaret this Thursday for the 7:30 show.
Tickets are going fast, so don’t miss out.
St. Petersburg College students will some hands on experience on Friday when Chuck leads a master class for Dr. David Manson’s jazz students at the Gibbs campus.
We’ll be adding more Side Door dates, including some holiday cabaret shows, in the coming weeks. Please stay tuned.
