Hundreds of guests enjoyed a special evening with the Clayton Hamilton Jazz Orchestra, John Clayton, Jeff Hamilton, Tierney Sutton, Sara Gazarek and many more. We renamed the Flip & Shelly Manne Memorial New Talent Award in honor of Flip’s recent passing and the first recipients were Jordan Klein and Charlie French – two fantastic young musicians who performed with their quintet. Honored to have received a City Proclamation from City Council President Paul Krekorian. Hosted by LeRoy Downs, the evening was dedicated to our 40 years of ‘Keeping Jazz Alive’.
