“Richie Cole and the Cocoa Beach 

Alto Madness Orchestra”

Richie Cole “Alto Madness” is a living legend! Richie started playing alto saxophone

when he was ten. His professional career began in 1969 when he joined the Buddy

Rich Big Band. And after stints with the Lionel Hampton Big Band and the Doc

Severinsen Big Band, Cole formed his own quintet and toured worldwide, doing

a great deal to popularize bebop and his own “Alto Madness” style in the 70’s

and early 80’s. Cole has performed and recorded with the great vocalese artists

 and notably performed at the Village Vanguard and Carnegie Hall as well

as giving a command performance for the Queen of England. Cole has recorded

over 50 albums and CDs, including his top hit album “Hollywood Madness”

(1979 Muse Records) and his tribute album to Leonard Bernstein, “Richie Cole

Plays West Side Story” (1997 Music Masters Jazz). A prolific composer, Cole

also finds time to arrange for full big bands, symphony orchestras and

frequent performances at jazz festivals worldwide. Moreover, he enjoys

sharing his love of music with younger generations and is active recording,

touring and presenting university master classes.

CeCe Teneal & Soul Kamotion - Arts Garage, Phillips Center and The Abbey on September CD Release Tour

 

CeCe Teneal & Soul Kamotion

New CD available now on all digital music outlets

#5or5000
From the band:

We are so very excited to meet each of you as we

take our journey around the world spreading the

message a peace, joy, and love through music. 

Our new live album, “#5or5000,” is a captivating,

energetic and entertaining blend of songs that speak

to all stages of love and life, while reminding people

to appreciate their blessings and not take things

for granted.

In total, “#5or5000” reflects our mission of giving

the same show and a hundred percent of ourselves,

whether there are five or five thousand people in

the audience.

The album’s first single, “What I’d Do To Get Your

Love Back” was originally written by CeCe’s mom,

international blues singer Yvonne Jackson. Cece says,

“this song is an opportunity to reflect on what that

moment would be like to get someone’s love back

for just one day – a parent, sibling, friend or love 

interest. We’ve all been there.”

Watch the video for our new single:

What I’d Do To Get Your Love Back

Tampa Jazz Club Opens Florida's Jazz Society Season w/ THOMAS CARABASI’S NEW STANDARDS QUINTET August 26, 2018!

This Sunday!

TAMPA JAZZ CLUB OPENS NEW SEASON WITH THE "NEW STANDARDS QUINTET" Thomas Carabasi’s band is a Bay Area All-Star Ensemble The Tampa Jazz Club is proud to announce the opening concert of a new season at The Mainstage Theatre, at HCC/Ybor City, featuring THOMAS CARABASI’S NEW STANDARDS QUINTET. This exciting band takes the stage on Sunday, August 26, at 3:00 pm. Thomas Carabasi is a dynamic drummer and bandleader who has shared the stage with many leading jazz artists, including working closely with legendary pianists Manfredo Fest and Kenny Drew, Jr. (In addition, he is a noted photographer, on the faculty of the Ringling College of Art and Design for more than 25 years.)  The New Standards Quintet plays a mix of jazz classics with a contemporary twist, along with lesser-known material by great Jazz and Brazilian composers (think Mingus, Jobim, and Pharoah Sanders, for starters). And what a stellar lineup! Joining Carabasi in the rhythm section are two members of La Lucha, pianist John O’Leary and bassist Alejandro Arenas; and the band is fronted by Bay Area favorites with a lot of shared history, trumpeter James Suggs and saxophonist Jeremy Carter.  This Quintet, all busy artists with a shared devotion to the new band’s concept, have made a big impression on audiences in St. Petersburg and Sarasota in their original performances. Don’t miss their Tampa debut, and the beginning of a new season of Sunday afternoon jazz in Ybor City!   Thomas Carabasi's New Jazz Standards Quintet Sunday, August 26, 2018; 3:00 PM Mainstage Theatre HCC Ybor 1411 E 11th Ave Ybor City Tickets: $20 Adults/$15 Tampa Jazz Club Members  $10 Students with ID (Complimentary to HCC Students) Tickets also available at the door or online at: tampajazzclub.com Contact information: Tampajazzclub.com  or call: 727-771-7415 Tampa Jazz Club Inc. is a not-for profit 501 (c) (3) All donations are tax-deductible to the full extent allowed by law.

OTHER BUSINES NOTES:

1) Jazz Blues Florida has removed all Google ads from our platform. The decision
was based in part on that they detract from the presence of our client's placements.

2) JazzBluesFlorida.com is upgrading our computers. There may be some communication
'bumps' until the data transfers and program updates are complete. And the learning curve -
can't forget the learning curve....

  

And here is our rate sheet (please note we have not raised prices
since 2015 - which isn't going to last much longer) which
presents our platform and the options available for placements:
