Jazz Johnson Trio, MC Jennifer Schemke, Opener Matt Silva

Thank You Vallejo! As a fond farewell to Jazz Johnson leaving the Bay Area, headed to New York, we are doing a special show in the Empress Theatre for the nominal ticket price of $1. ($2 w/fees)

As a saxophonist and composer Jazz Johnson has performed with top ensembles including the award-winning SFJAZZ All-Stars, earning accolades from DownBeat Magazine, the Louis Armstrong Foundation, and major festivals like Folsom, Campana, Santa Cruz, and Stanford. He has studied with renowned educators Dann Zinn, Mary Fettig, and Howard Wiley, and is currently continuing his musical journey at the Manhattan School of Music while performing at New York venues including Smalls, The Roxy, the Village Vanguard, and Mezzrow. His debut CD drops January 15.

The Trio features powerhouse “Women in Jazz” musicians Alissa Johnson on drums and Alexis Tsamoudakis on upright bass.

The legendary Matt Silva will open the show.

Don't miss this last show of the series!
