Here is Les Hoffman belting out “Basin Street Blues” for the residents of Oak Park Place Nakoma on Friday, March 10. After getting snowed out of rehearsals for most of February, It felt good to be playing together again. Thanks to Deb Trexel for the photo.

Yes, after the holidays we’re back at it! In fact, our next performance will be on Thursday, so we will not rehearse on January 19 to save our chops for a gig at Vista West. We will be rehearsing at our usual time in the weeks between, however, and everyone is welcome to come to the Middleton Senior Center and listen.

Our winter break has come earlier than we expected due to the snowstorm. We had hoped to run our holiday program at our Thursday, December 15, rehearsal, but the Middleton Senior Center will be closed due to weather. We will perform it at two venues in the coming week. However, we will not rehearse on December 22 or 29. We hope you will enjoy the holidays with friends and family and we’ll see you next year!

As usual, the audience was terrific at the Stoughton Opera House on November 7, 2022. Here is a small sample from our performance in that beautiful venue.

This coming Monday, November 7, 2022, Middleton Jazz will be playing in the Stoughton Opera House at 3:00 p.m. as part of the Stoughton Senior Center’s Music Appreciation Series. The performance is free and open to the public, although they will ask for free-will donations.

There should be plenty of room to spread out. It is a beautiful venue with lively acoustics that should add to the performance.

We are thrilled to once again be part of the Strollin’ Middleton Jazz Festival, which this year will include the Grand Opening of the Stone Horse Green. Come hear us in the Middleton Senior Center at 5 p.m. on October 7th, and at the Grand Opening of the Stone Horse Green at 10 a.m. on October 8th!

Middleton Jazz will be performing for the Attic Angels Community the morning of September 29, so we will not be rehearsing in the Middleton Senior Center that day.

Middleton Jazz performed to help Vista West celebrate their one year anniversary on September 9, 2022. We played to a terrific, appreciative audience.

We played for the people at Drumlin Residences for the first time on August 30, 2022. It was a bright, spacious venue with a terrific audience. Photo below by Debbie Trexel.

Middleton Jazz had a great time helping the residents of The Jefferson celebrate Mardi Gras this Tuesday! Since we would be missing several members on Thursday, we decided to skip rehearsal this week, but will be back at the Middleton Senior Center on March 10.
