November 2, 2012 KRAEMER & HURRICANES TO PERFORM IN DOWNTOWN VENICE
The Jazz Club of Sarasota will present Ron Kraemer & the Hurricanes in a Joy of Jazz per- formance on Saturday, Nov. 17, from 2 to 4 p.m. in Centennial Park in downtown Venice .
Kraemer is a noted blues, jazz and swing gui- tarist whose "understated stage presence be- lies impressive instrumental mastery as he runs up and down the neck of his jazz guitar with focus and fluidity," according to music blog columnist Susan James.
Accompanying Kraemer for this concert will be JP Coley on upright bass, Art Siegel on drums, Eddie Tobin on keyboards and Mark Gould on sax, according to a news release.
"We'll do a mix of blues, jazz and swing," says Kraemer in the release. "Every song we do has at least one of those elements to it — and sometimes the song has all three elements! One way or the other, our music is sometimes jazzy, often bluesy — but always cool."
The 2012-2013 Joy of Jazz series will include three more concerts, dates and details to be announced soon.
"It's a perfect way to spend a weekend after- noon, enjoying the great melodies, rich har- monies and soulful rhythms of jazz," says Bill Beckman, a Jazz Club of Sarasota board mem- ber and producer of this series, in the news release.
The concert is free, but donations will be ac- cepted in support of the Jazz Club's scholar- ship fund. Guests are encouraged to bring lawn chairs and blankets. Food and beverages will be available; coolers are not allowed.
