MORE TOAST & JAM DATES: January 11, February 8, and March 8
Enjoy brunch, savor the music, taste the story! Join us for a deliciously laid-back Sunday as we serve up sizzling jazz, fresh bites, and lively conversation. Ticket prices include a fabulous brunch by Executive Chef Karl Elliott.
Each month celebrated pianist Joe Alterman brings along his favorite musical guests for a one-of-a-kind jazz brunch, blending smooth live performances with unscripted, talk show-style interviews that go behind the music.
Special guest for the April 12 Toast & Jam is John Sandfort.
John Sandfort’s debut recording “Southbound” hits like a freight train at full steam. His bold, thick tenor saxophone sound assumes immediate control. The project is a balance of well-selected jazz standards and Sandfort’s fresh originals. The title “Southbound” fits the St. Louis native who now makes Atlanta, Georgia his home.
Sandfort’s musical development includes time in Chicago. The music of the “Windy City” natives Gene Ammons and Johnny Griffin were significant influences. Add the sounds of Dexter Gordon, Sonny Rollins, Hank Mobley, Sonny Stitt and Wardell Gray to arrive at Sandfort’s classic, yet personal sound.
“When I play, if I can impart some of the feeling I get when listening to a Gene Ammons recording, or a swinging Cannonball Adderly track, I will be a happy guy,” says Sandfort.
