Jingle Jazz 2004
Jingle Jazz evening December 6, 2004 hosted
approximately 150 patrons. We were treated to jazzy holiday music by
Easy Street Jazz Band, Don Gumpert's Dixieland Saints and an ensemble
of the Gulf Coast Chorale led by JSOP member Mike Richardson. There
was a second-line parade with decorated umbrellas. Thanks to your
generosity and the gift of music donated by the participating
musicians, approximately $1,500 was raised to fund the free Pensacola
JazzFest upcoming April 9-10, 2005. Thanks especially to Paul Bruketa,
past JSOP Board Member for his work in coordinating the music and
functioning as master of ceremonies.
