The Palladium is a safe place to enjoy great music and we’ve got a special show for you this Sunday. Award-winning singer, saxophonist, songwriter and entertainer, Danny Bacher, headlines the third annual Palladium Jazz Awards.
This year the awards show celebrates the 50th anniversary of the Al Downing Tampa Bay Jazz Association. The matinee show starts at 4 p.m. on Sunday. For tickets and more information you can follow this link.
Bacher makes hot jazz and pop with influences from Louis Prima and Mel Torme. In 2020, a Jazz Times’ readers’ poll, Danny was chosen as one of the top three jazz vocalists, along with Kurt Elling and Gregory Porter.
Danny will appear as part of a quintet of Palladium jazz stars including Alejandro Arenas – bass; Rick Costa – drums; John O’Leary – piano; and James Suggs – trumpet.
