4/12/25 Pasadena, Second Saturdays Jazz Night with JL & Friends

Gary Stockdale and Emily Zuzik will join us on April 12 for our third show of the year in our new location! RSVP on Facebook. Advance tickets on Eventbrite or Venmo. $25 suggested donation.

Gary and I met, I think, doing a show called Sit’n’Spin at the Hudson Theater years ago. I loved that series, kind of a live This American Life or The Moth that featured mostly comedy writers, reading pieces, eliciting laughs and tears. Gary often did the music and for my first visit, I actually read one of my essays. 

Gary has a new one man show, Showstopper, that’s playing at The Whitefire Theater throughout April, so we’re really lucky to have him join us again. His writing reminds me of a mix of Henry Mancini and Randy Newman, with a touch of Tom Lehrer. 

Despite having many people in common, I just met Emily Zuzik in Cambria at the Sam Cooke tribute and happily got to play along with her. She’s got a new EP, age + alchemy, coming out May 2. It’s a brilliantly tough roots rock record, from what I’ve enjoyed so far. But on the 12th, she’ll be exploring some standards and jazz oriented originals. I’ll be playing with her, too. 

The format in the new venue, is the same as it’s been for the past two years, I’ll usually bring up my guests for their sets, then close the night with a set of my own. But it’s unpredictable. We switch things up and often collaborate. We want you to stay for the full 2 1/2 hour evening. 

One thing to look out for is that we’re on the third floor there, so if you need the elevator, please let me know. It’s in the back and one of the staff will have to let you in. I’m sure this will all get down to a science as we develop, but bear with us as we get everything going. Street parking is available, or there are lots behind Urth Cafe and next to Basecamp Fitness (across the street from the Pasadena Playhouse).

3/8/25 Pasadena, Second Saturdays Jazz Night with JL & Friends

Roswell Sisters, Danette Christine, and Jason Luckett Flyer for March 8

We’re back for our second show of the year in our new location! On March 8 we’ll have two of my favorites from year one at Lyd & Mo’s, The Roswell Sisters, and Danette Christine.

Kristi Callan of The Roswell Sisters, Danette and I are semi-regulars for the Annual Harry Nilsson Singalong. And just like Harry, they have great big ears for music that transcends genres.

The Roswell Sisters are Justin Tanner, Lisa Genio, and Kristi, accompanied by Kristian Hoffman and Pierre Smith. All of them have fascinating resumes of creative endeavors from music to theater! I’ll post more about them in the coming days.

Danette has shown up in many formats to our gatherings, often with Phil Parlapiano and Robert Luis. In whatever format, from solo, to the Sonic Scene, she’s always musical, engaging and brings a spirit of love and community.

I’m super happy to have them with us again. And I’ll be in a good groove coming back from a little mini tour the weekend before, one stop of which includes a Sam Cooke tribute. I think it’ll be a beautiful night!

The format in the new venue, Aris the same as it’s been for the past two years, I’ll introduce with a song or two, then bring up my guests for their sets, then I’ll usually close the night with a set of my own.

The only thing to look out for is that we’re on the third floor there, so if you need the elevator, please let me know. It’s in the back and one of the staff will have to let you in. I’m sure this will all get down to a science as we develop, but bear with us as we get everything going.
