JOIN US – THURSDAY – June 5 – 7pm
Young Musicians Showcase
Coco Jade & Friends

Hosted by:  Julie Berghofer

Coco Jade & Friends are just that! Bandmates are friends and classmates studying jazz at the Garn Family Jazz Studies Program at Orange County School of the Arts (OCSA), in Santa Ana. Led by Coco Benedetti, her band, along with other OCSA cohorts, will soon deliver a three-night performance as part of the Subaru Newport Beach Jazz Festival. The Hyatt Regency hotel, in Newport Beach, has staged the Newport Beach Jazz Festival (May 30 – June 1) on its property for 30 years. Coco, and members of her band, along with other school cohorts will perform in the hotel for guests and Festival patrons each night of the Festival. Bandmates are one of three teen jazz bands which gig at the hotel regularly, on Friday nights, over the past six months.

Coco Jade & Friends is a vocals-led band, with Coco as singer and pianist, and including; Shannon Imaoka, on piano, Emmet Althoen on bass and piano, and Kai Orozco on drums. The band keeps their sets dynamic with interpretations of jazz standards, impressive solos, and with Emmet and Coco pairing piano and vocals as a duo. Coco also makes sure to demonstrate her own piano chops when she sits to play with her crew.

Bandmembers are excited to do more pre-event performances this summer at the Hyatt Regency for its Summer Jazz Series, a summer-long concert series featuring world-renown jazz stars…and, before the stars, some very impressive teenagers!

We’re excited to present this talented group on Thursday evening June 5th at 7:00pm
