UPCOMING JAZZY NIGHTS SERIES PERFORMANCES

Friday, March 21, 2025
6:30pm Cocktails | 7:30pm Concert
and Friends
Born in Boston, Massachusetts, Danny Sinoff began private classical piano lessons at the young age of four years old. When he was eleven, he moved with his family to Naples, FL, and continued his classical studies, going on to win local and regional piano competitions and later getting his first gig at the age of 13. After spending some time at Boston’s Berklee College of Music in 2000, Danny returned to Southwest Florida and began gigging full time in the region, most notably leading a group with the late great trumpeter Dan Miller (Harry Connick Jr., Wynton Marsalis, Tom Jones and Woody Herman) at Ellington’s Jazz Club on Sanibel Island and fully establishing himself as a singer, pianist and strong trio and quartet leader in the SWFL jazz scene. 

Danny has performed and recorded with David “Fathead” Newman (Ray Charles), The Brubeck Brothers, Jimmy McGriff, Russell Hall, Kyle Poole, Sweet Georgia Brown, Martina DaSilva, Deborah Bowman, Russell Malone, Paul Bollenback, Joe Farnsworth, Herlin Riley, Akiko Tsuruga, Joe Magnarelli, Hubert Laws, Harry Connick Jr., bassists Ben Wolfe, Neal Caine and tenor saxophonist Jerry Weldon. Danny has also shared the stage many a night with the great tenor saxophonist Lew Del Gatto, a 30-year veteran of NBC’s Saturday Night Live band, along with being a studio recording artist for Johnny Winter!

Friday, April 18, 2025
6:30pm Cocktails | 7:30pm Concert
New Jazz Underground is a trio composed of three Juilliard School Alumni in Jazz at Lincoln Center’s inner circle of young artists who have worked closely with jazz masters ranging from Wynton Marsalis, Victor Lewis and ELEW.  The trio featuring Abdias Armenteros - saxophone, Sebastian Rios - bass, and TJ Reddick - drums, met while they were students at the prestigious Juilliard School. However, it wasn’t until the Summer of 2020 when they started playing as a group regularly.  Forced out of live music venues during the pandemic lockdown the group would meet on a weekly basis in the parks and streets of NYC to perform. Still without a live audience, in January of 2021 the band started their YouTube channel and have since built a worldwide audience with over four and half million views and 101k+ subscribers as of January 2025 through their viral video performances. The band’s artistic ethos is steeped in veneration of the rich lineage of jazz while demonstrating an acute awareness and presence in contemporary postmodernist sensibilities. Their online output reflects this characteristic balance, performing music created in solemn focus on swing, the blues, and improvisation, yet their approach in the modern art and media landscape comes with a measured irony.

Series generously underwritten by Alexandra Bremner 
in loving memory of Eunice Bremner.

The North Central Florida Blues Society is thrilled to welcome back The Nighthawks and Rev. Billy C. Wirtz for another unforgettable night of blues at this top-notch listening venue. Join us for an evening of great music, good company, and a whole lot of fun—you won’t want to miss it!

The Nighthawks have built a reputation as a powerhouse live band, often hailed as the hardest-working band in America. They have entertained audiences worldwide with their signature blend of blues, rock, soul, R&B, rockabilly, and swing. Known for their hard-driving, soulful, and sometimes raucous performances, they earned the title of "the world’s best bar band." Their legacy was recently highlighted in the documentary Nighthawks on the Blue Highway.

Mark Wenner has led The Nighthawks since their founding in 1972. The original quartet dominated the highways and honky-tonks, paving the way for contemporaries like The Fabulous Thunderbirds, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and Robert Cray. They shared the stage with countless blues and rockabilly legends, opening for Muddy Waters, James Cotton, and Carl Perkins while also recording and performing alongside John Hammond and Pinetop Perkins.

“Our sound is rooted in a Chicago blues band,” Wenner explained, “but we could always throw in a country song, an old rock-and-roll tune, or even something from a contemporary songwriter or Motown.”

Opening for and playing with the Nighthawks is Ocala native Rev. Billy C. Wirtz, a comic genius, gifted pianist and American musicologist who defies easy classification. "I like to think of myself as the Victor Borge of the Blues," states Wirtz, but he goes way beyond Borge both in scope of subject matter (from politics to social commentary) and, of course, in taste. In fact, no theme is too extreme, taboo, or undignified for the Reverend, so long as it garners a good laugh.

Likely the only person on earth to be mentored by Chicago Blues legend Sunnyland Slim and also to work with Root Boy Slim, Wirtz has also worked with The Nighthawks for decades.

Heartwood Soundstage
Nestled in the heart of Gainesville, Florida, Heartwood Soundstage stands out as a vibrant music venue, enriching the local music scene with its unique charm. Boasting a state-of-the-art sound system and a cozy yet spacious setting, Heartwood provides an intimate experience for music enthusiasts. The venue's commitment to showcasing live jazz and blues aligns seamlessly with the diverse cultural offerings in the area. With its welcoming ambiance, Heartwood Soundstage has become a go-to spot for both local and touring artists, creating memorable performances that resonate with the audience. From its inviting atmosphere with neighboring food and beveage shops, to its dedication to promoting the best in live music, Heartwood Soundstage solidifies its place as a cornerstone of Gainesville's vibrant musical landscape.
