Ellingtonia: Nick Rossi's Jazzopaters return to Mr. Tipple's!

Enjoy Northern California's only ensemble wholly dedicated to the music of Duke Ellington, Nick Rossi's Jazzopaters, in this special, seated night club performance featuring special guest Jacob Zimmerman (Seattle, Wash.)! The 9 piece ensemble will present two shows of Swing Era (1936-1947) Ellingtonia at 5 p.m and 7 p.m. in this great San Francisco supper club setting. Tickets are $15-30, all ages. Great cocktails and tasty dim sum dinner menu. Both shows are expected to sell out! Advance tickets available via OpenTable.

Within the span of two very short years, the Jazzopaters have garnered international acclaim for their approach to Duke Ellington's classic material. Largely originally intended for the burgeoning juke box market at the time, these masterpieces in miniature capture the essence of the composition, arranging, and performance qualities of what continue to make Ellington the most essential of musical figures. The ensembles love for the music and attention to detail is a delight both for the musicians and the audience.

Band personnel: Patrick Wolff (alto sax & clarinet), Jacob Zimmerman (clarinet & tenor sax), Kamrin Ortiz (baritone sax, alto sax, & clarinet), James Dunning (trumpet), Victor Imbo (trombone), Adam Shulman (piano), Nick Rossi (guitar), Mikiya Matsuda (bass), Riley Baker (drums).
