• Join Paul Toliver and Reggie Goings as we celebrate our 4th annual reunion,
honoring the incredible 15-year run (1999–2014) of jazz excellence at Tula’s
Jazz Club—where Reggie Goings shared the bandstand with the legendary
saxophonist Hadley Caliman.
• This year’s musical gathering reunites several members of my 1992 jazz group,
The Jazz Suspenders:
Dan Greenblatt – Saxophone
Phil Sparks – Bass
Jamael Nance – Drums
Bill Anschell – Piano
Reggie Goings – Vocals
• Expect powerful performances, spontaneous cameos from guest singers and
musicians, and a lively atmosphere fueled by love for the music and
community. Its all about the music – and those who inspire and create it.
• Classic Motown hits will be streamed during performance breaks and after the
show—so the groove never stops!
• 2025 Theme: Motown Meets Blue Note
We're fusing jazz artistry with the bold style and glam of Motown’s golden era.
Dress up (optional) in gold and silver, platform shoes, statement sunglasses,
and funky, jazzy threads—show your spirit and sparkle!
• “Blue Note — distinctive in its bebop brilliance — and Motown — masters
of funk and soul — united in excellence, each leaving a legacy of innovation
and unforgettable artistry.”
• Let’s make this year’s reunion the best one yet! Your energy, presence,
and support keep the legacy alive. All ages welcome.
