Up this Sunday (9/17/23) are the Mighty Winds: Seth Kibel and Frank Silva on sax/flute/clarinet. Seth has won multiple WAMMYs and has the distinction of being the jam’s very first “monthly master” guest back in Fall 2011, right after the jam started getting arts grant funding. And Frank is a relatively new transplant to DC but can be seen playing around town, including at Wonderland Ballroom and with the Navy Commodores big band.

Seth and Frank will be joined by a special Third Sunday house band of Carter Stevens (keys), Geoff Reecer (guitar), Percy White (bass), and Will Stephens (drums).
