1st Annual Lee Suta Jazz Jam Showcase

With a heavy but grateful heart we recognize the passing of Lee Suta, one of EAC's longtime supporters and a good friend to many. Lee had been slowing down in recent years but was practicing music right up until the very end. In celebration of the light that was Lee Suta, we are officially naming this Saturday's occasion as the "1st Annual Lee Suta Jazz Jam Showcase", a name it will bear henceforth.

The EAC will turn into a jazz club on Saturday, September 26 as the Way DownEast Jazz Jammers present their first annual jazz showcase. “We have been playing the 3rd Saturday of the month at the Old Sow to a growing and appreciative crowd and are excited for the chance to bring some great jazz standards to the Arts Center”, says Joan Lowden, aka “the Basslady”. “Our program will include tunes by Miles Davis, Thelonius Monk, the Gershwins, Van Morrison, Antonio Carlos Jobim and more!”

Houseband: Joan Lowden-bass/vocals, Jonathan Aretakis-guitar/flute, Scott Young-guitar, Marc Perez-drums

Jammers:

Lee Suta-clarinet [note: see above], Susan Luthin-trumpet, Wyatt Beers-sax, Chris Farr-piano, Art Lindemanis-bass, Brendan Sohre-drums, Oen Kennedy-guitar/vocals, Manuela Brice, Penny Young, Heather Macnaughton-vocals.

$15 suggested donation. No one will be turned away due to lack of funds. Beer, wine and sodas will be available for purchase.

Come support local talent and enjoy the show!
