Holiday Showcase Sells Out
This years Holiday Jazz Showcase was a great success...we sold out and had to set up extra tables to try and accomodate the overflow crowd. Thank you one and all who came out and supported us!!! There were fabulous performances by Brenda Williams, Larry and Everett Greene, Tommy Wills, and a special tribute to Mary Moss, who jumped onstage to delight us with her great voice and dazzling smile (not to mention her beautiful, as always, gown). We inducted Tommy Wills, Al Coleman, Reggie DuValle, Frank Smith, and Bill Penick into our Indianapolis Jazz Hall of Fame, and all who attended thought it was our best showcase ever. Of course that only challenges us to reach even greater heights this year!
