Jazz Club of Sarasota

Chuck Redd is well known internationally as a performer on drums and vibraphone. Chuck began recording and touring the globe when he joined the Charlie Byrd Trio at the age of 21. He also became a member of the Great Guitars (Barney Kessel, Byrd and Herb Ellis.)

The La Lucha trio features Alejandro Arenas, bass; John O’Leary, piano; and Mark Feinman, drums. Their repertoire is a diverse mixture of Latin inspired rhythms with Jazz standards, twisted arrangements of pop songs and original compositions. Each member of the trio has extensive national and international performance experience, including a tour of Italy and France with performances at the “Umbria Jazz Festival” and “Jazz a Juan” in Juan Les Pins. La Lucha performed as the "house rhythm section" for the 2019 Sarasota Jazz Festival.

In the recent 2019 Sarasota Jazz Festival The Jeremy Carter Quartet wowed audiences on the festival's contemporary jazz stage. Widely believe to be the next "hot rising jazz artist" to emerge from the St. Petersburg scene, Jeremy plays a lyrical and soulful saxophone which runs the full range from a straight-ahead classical style to a more progressive vibe and contemporary flavor. Jeremy has frequently performed throughout the bay area with Whitney James, Synia Carroll, James Suggs, Gumbi Ortiz and many more. We look forward to his heading his own quartet at the Monday Night Jazz Series. If this is the first time you hear Jeremy, we promise you won't want it to be your last.

Doors Open at 6:30 for dinner & drinks. Performance at 7:30.

Daniela Soledade is a new and compelling voice on the Brazilian musical landscape- one both fresh on the ears and blessed with authentically deep roots. Her family line includes her father Paulinho, an artist-producer whose resume includes work with Ivan Lins and Gilberto Gil. Delving yet deeper, her grandfather Paulo helped create Brazilian music foundations, composing with Tom Jobim and others in the pioneering phase of bossa nova.

Nate Najar is a multi-talented American jazz guitarist-composer-producer and international recording and touring artist. Swinging jazz sounds, blues, and Brazilian styles are all at home under Nate's hands. Nate has performed with such notable jazz artists as Clark Terry, Ken Peplowski, Ray Kennedy, Gene Bertoncini, Harry Allen and many others. “Highly recommended. One of the most consistently interesting and enjoyable young guitarists on the jazz scene.”…Rick Anderson …All Music Guide.
