Prescott Showcase on the move

The Sunday night jazz jam at Old Ironsides (a.k.a.) the Prescott Showcase, will be wrapping up its run on Dec. 17. The final session looks to be a doozie: The Jon Raskin Quartet from Oakland will start the night, and the second set will be delivered by the Midtown Tone Orchestra, a 15-pieace ensemble with members from around northern California. The roll-call looks like this (and expect a few added players come show day):

Tony Passarell (soprano, baritone saxophones)
Scott Anderson(tenor saxophone)
Gerry Pineda (bass)
Ross Hammond (guitar)
Alex Jenkins (percussion)
John Vaughn (alto saxophone, theramin)
Dax Compise (percussion)
Jon Raskin (saxophones)
David Bole (euphonium
Phillip Greenlief (saxophones)
Tom Monson (drums)
Adam Jenkins (alto saxophone)

Good luck to guitarist Ross Hammond and company as the Prescott Showcase moves to the Java Lounge (16th St. between Broadway and X St.) in January. In the meantime, check out the Prescott Showcase this Sunday as the Race!!! Quintet works its free-jazzy ways.
