Carol Beth True and Larry Johnson return to Jack's Joint! After a very successful first and second appearance together, we are gonna make it a regular thing!Carol Beth loves the feel of the room. She likened it to a throw-back jazz room that used to be common but now is, unfortunately, not as common. That's our goal at Jack's Joint, to make it a comfortable listening room for artists to perform.
(We stole this bio from someone by Googling Larry).
Larry Johnson is both a pro saxophone player and a veteran band director. He’s in his 33rd year as a middle school Band Director at St. Joseph School in St. Charles, Missouri. He started its instrumental music program in 1985 with 45 students and has developed the program into five ensembles with more than 210 members. He began working as a professional saxophonist at the age of thirteen, performing in area nightclubs, jazz festivals and charitable functions and has done so for the last 38 years. He’s performed on stage with Dizzy Gillespie, Louie Bellson, Rich Mattenson, Johnny Johnson, Brett Spainhour and local St. Louis musicians Carol Beth True and Jim Manley. Larry has recorded over 40 times with various people and twice headlining his own recordings for the Victoria Jazz label. He’s considered a “top call” studio musician in St. Louis, currently working with a variety of area groups including Carol Beth True, Fantasy, Charlie B Jazz and Wild, Cool and Swingin. Larry also works as a clinician, adjudicator and private lesson instructor.
At Jack's Joint, we keep the piano in tune and the lights low. These two crafty veterans of STL music will absolutely blow you away if you haven't heard them. They are the master class, literally, of academic jazz rooms. Their technical chops are second to none and they will amaze you. Come out and see the best in this intimate room. We can't wait to see ya!
