Once Upon A Summer Time...if you recall.... Click and listen: If you didn't make last year's festival, you'll want to enjoy the Peg Egan venue this year! A beautiful space where you can sit, sip and sink in to the swirl of jazz in the air!
Oh Beautiful For Spacious Skies.... An opportunity to give back. Click and listen to this beautiful arrangement by Tom Washatka Every year on the 4th of July we are honored to perform for the men and women who have paid a big price for our freedoms.
Yesterdays are snared in the mind's eye and the memories are our joy and laughter. We perform and teach in the idyllic setting of Bjorklunden Lodge in Baileys Harbor. For a full week we are surrounded by a canopy of trees, the smell of great food, the beating of the waves of Lake Michigan as they continue and morph in to hypnotic beats and waves of jazz. Oh yes! and there's a bit of shenanigans and wine. If you'd like to camp out and learn go to http://www.tritonejazz.com for more information.
This is one beautiful place to listen, sip and soak in the sun. We performed last year and couldn't believe that this gorgeous place exists right up the road. But it's a small, world isn't? Listen Tom Theabo and Janet Planet Duo starts at 4:00 but come early there are more acts!!!
The Mile of Music is a local phenomenon! We're so lucky to have live music supported to this extent in Appleton WI! During these days, College Avenue is bustling with fans and artists from all over the country. We'll be adding a little "side trip" to the bustle with "The Extra Mile". If you're interested in some great food, jazz and a place to rest your feet before heading back to the crowds, join us! I'll be performing with some very talented musicians from our area: Tom Theabo (guitar), Mark Urness (bass), Ryan Korb (drums) Below is a track that was recorded live in Milwaukee (mid nineties). Let's continue to support local jazz. Tom Theabo (guitar) Duane Stuermer (bass) Dave Wall (drums) Tom Washatka (saxophone) Claude Cailliet (trombone) Janet Planet (vocal)
