Every weeks, we invite a Monthly Master jazz artist to join the house band for the evening. (We used to have them once a month, thus the name “Monthly Master,” but we like the alliteration, so the name stuck.) Our Monthly Master guests are established local, national, or international jazz artists, as well as outstanding up-and-coming players. Please check our calendar to see who the next Monthly Master will be.
