Kicking off on January 15, jazz fans in and around Tacoma will be able to catch the first show in a brand-new monthly series presented by the B Sharp Music Society. Live from the Immanuel Presbyterian Church, the first show sees two lauded headliners: the tenor sax stylings of Pete Christlieb and his wife trombonist Linda Small, in concert with their quintet. If you’re itching to get out of the house this January, this is the perfect opportunity to expose you and your family and friends to everything that you already love about jazz, live music, and this dynamic genre as an art. While Chirstlieb and Small are currently enjoying their golden years in the Pacific Northwest, Christlieb’s pedigree include two decades of collaboration with the infamous Johnny Carson band, as well as recording work with Steely Dan and Natalie Cole. A veteran of the big band scene and one of the most talented symphonists of our time, Small provides the perfect accompanying act for the evening. She’s an extremely diversified artist, who has worked alongside such legends as Stevie Wonder and Gladys Knight, and has performed as part of the Boston Pops Orchestra, the Boston Ballet, the Detroit Symphony, among many other world-class troupes.
