Great Shows in December, 2011

The Jazz & Blues Revue got off to a fabulous start with three shows in December: one at The Hip Kitty in Claremont, one at The Catalina Jazz Club in Hollywood, and a third show at Steamers in Fullerton.

The December 14 show at the Catalina Jazz Club was especially memorable. We raised over $16,000 for PATH (People Assisting The Homeless) and PATH Ventures, to help build housing units in Los Angeles for the homeless. George received a Certificate of Recognition from the City of Los Angeles, signed by Eric Garcetti, for his commitment to the well-being of the homeless community in Los Angeles. Bubba Jackson from KJazz 88.1 was the Master of Ceremonies. More photos and video to follow!

And what does George Kahn think of his new group?

“I am thrilled to be working with these three “Divalicious” singers. For a long time I have felt that Jazz lost it's way when people stopped dancing to it. Back in the 40's, Jazz was America's pop music. Then musicians got too hip, the playing got too far out, and the music left the groin and moved to the cerebrum. Big mistake. THE JAZZ & BLUES REVUE covers a wide spectrum of jazz, from swing to standards to funk to afro-beat. The idea that holds it all together is that the groove comes first, last and always. The melody supports the groove. The solos stay in the groove. This music grooves - and we want the audience to groove with it, dancing in the aisles, if possible.”
