Patti Austin

Sunday, July 20, 2025

7:00 p.m.

 

The daughter of a trombonist and a singer, Grammy-winning vocalist Patti Austin claims the

late Dinah Washington and Quincy Jones as her godparents. Her innate musical abilities are

prodigious and well documented, encompassing 19 solo albums and countless appearances on pop,

jazz, and R&B recordings since the 1970s. She has charted pop hits on her own and with

James Ingram, Michael Jackson, and others, and her powerful yet velvety warm pipes have

embellished numerous advertising jingles. She has consistently toured around the world,

performing in concerts and theatrical works.

#############################################

https://mim.org/events/lizz-wright-jul-27-2025/

Sunday, July 27, 2025

7:00 p.m.

 

Singer Lizz Wright draws inspiration from her Southern upbringing in Georgia, where

she was the musical director of a small church, of which her father was the pastor.

At 22 years old, Wright made a name for herself as a vocalist with a touring concert

tribute to Billie Holiday, where her poised performances stole the show. At 23, she

signed to Verve Records and released Salt, which topped Billboard’s contemporary jazz

charts. Her subsequent albums also climbed to the top of the charts, and her single

 “Lean In,” from Freedom and Surrender, landed on President Obama’s 2016 summer playlist.

Wednesday, August 6, 2025

7:00 p.m.

 

In 1986, Femi Kuti left to create his own band, Positive Force, and has been forging his

own style of Afrobeat ever since, adding doses of R&B, rock, and hip hop to the traditional

Yorùbá rhythms and jazzy horns. Lyrically, however, his focus has remained firmly on issues

of power, oppression, and social injustice, and his activism has extended beyond music

through collaborations with organizations such as Global Citizen and his role as a

UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador.

Tuesday, August 12, 2025

7:00 p.m.

 

The Headhunters, the legendary jazz-funk ensemble co-led by percussionist Bill Summers

and drummer Mike Clark with NEA Jazz Master Donald Harrison on alto saxophone, celebrated

the band’s 50th anniversary in 2023, having formed around Herbie Hancock’s classic

recordings: Headhunters in 1973, Thrust in 1974, and Man-Child in 1975. Hancock

departed the group after, but Summers and Clark continued the legacy, leading the

band through numerous tours and albums.

 

With a blend of jazz, funk, and rock that has sold over a million albums worldwide,

 the band’s legacy has inspired musicians of every genre, and their work has been

sampled by hundreds of hip hop artists throughout the ’80s and ’90s, continuing to

influence countless musicians playing today.

WELCOME TO WESTSIDE BLUES & JAZZ

Live Blues & Jazz every Thursday, Friday, Saturday & Sunday

Paul Vincent Perez and Cindi Jackson ( niece of Arizona Saxophonist Lou Garno ) created

WestSide Blues & Jazz through necessity ( Ok, also maybe because they just wanted to ).

The West Valley was way over due for a Blues & Jazz Night Club that offers Live Blues & Jazz

every Thursday, Friday, Saturday & Sunday featuring the best Bands in the State.

When asked what he thought was the key to a successful Night Club in the West Valley ,

Paul said “ 3 Criteria are needed, Awesome musicians, Great Service and a Comfortable atmosphere

and WestSide Blues will have all of that - plus.

 

WestSide Blues & Jazz offers a cozy, bricked wall speakeasy decor with very comfortable casual seating.

There is not a bad seat in the House. (Except maybe the one behind the pole ??.)

We have a top professional sound and lighting system , a 35’ granite bar with comfy swivel stools.

We will offer a large menu of custom Craft cocktails along with your favorite liquors and beers.

[*] CPR: Learn Life-Saving Skills

#############################################

https://www.heart.org/en/about-us/office-of-health-equity/black-history-month

 

Heartful Unity

This Black History Month, let's come together with heartful unity. Be a lifesaver that unites our community in the shared mission of promoting heart health and saving lives through CPR and AED training.

 

Black Americans have the highest incidence of cardiac arrest outside of the hospital and are significantly less likely to survive.

 

Cardiac arrest in Black neighborhoods is associated with alarmingly low treatment and survival rates and studies have shown lower rates of both bystander CPR and bystander AED use in these neighborhoods. We need to change this trajectory.
