October 14

SANTA PAULA, CA – The Santa Paula Art Museum welcomes back the incredibly talented “Razzberry Jam” on Sunday, October 14 from 4 to 6 p.m. The band will be performing one of the great American art forms, New Orleans style jazz. Guests of the concert will also enjoy refreshments and hors d’oeuvres. Admission to the event is $10 for Museum Members and $15 for non-members.

Razzberry Jam was formed more than 20 years ago, its seven members also being active players in a number of well-known musical groups in Ventura County including the Ventura County Concert Band, Swing Shift, the British Brass Ensemble and others. The group specializes in playing traditional Dixieland style jazz tunes such as “Bill Bailey”, “Won’t You Please Come Home” and “Bourbon Street Parade”. To get a taste of the band’s sound, visit the events page on the Museum’s website, www.SantaPaulaArtMuseum.org.

Members of Razzberry Jam include vocalist Dia Takahashi, Tom Hackney on piano, Chuck Mullett on clarinet, Charlie Myerson on banjo, Jim Wade on tuba and drums, Jim Walker on cornet and trumpet, and Michael Wallace on trombone. As a band, they not only recreate the elegant music of a bygone era, but they also simply love playing together.
