Saturday, October 17, 7-10pm -Jimmy Madison Tribute
Jimmy Madison & Friends was scheduled for October 17 but sadly, Jimmy’s health has taken a turn for the worst and he will be unable to perform.
Rather than cancel the performance, we have all agreed that the best way we can honor Jimmy is to proceed with the performance as a Tribute to Jimmy.
This special evening will be one of remembrance but also one of joy for the wonderful music and friendship Jimmy has shared during his illustrious career.
For those of you who know Jimmy, please come share your love. And for those who have not had the pleasure, we invite you to be part of this once-in-a-lifetime event.
TBA – drums
Tim Regusis – piano
Tarik Shah – bass
Peyton Pleninger – saxophone
Drummer Jimmy Madison has performed with the greats of Jazz and Funk for over six decades, from Lionel Hampton, Roland Kirk, Chet Baker and Quincy Jones to James Brown, Maceo Parker and George Benson, among many others. But this quartet format allows he and his compatriots to do what they do best, improvising on themes both familiar and new. It’s pure Jazz at its best.
