 On Friday May 18th, JazzFresno closed out its Spring 2007 season with a concert by guitarists Anthony Wilson & Chico Pinheiro and their quartet "Nova" at Fresno's Sunnyside High School Theatre. This Brazilian jazz group was joined as a special guest by one of Fresno's own talented young musicians, mandolinist Eva Scow, who has recorded with Anthony Wilson's Nonet. We've posted a gallery of photos from the concert as well as links to the websites of the musicians so you can learn more about their music and follow their careers. Photo Gallery...

1st & 3rd Sundays of the Month at Tokyo Garden
For nearly five years, local jazz fans and musicians have had a home at one of Fresno's longtime restaurants and music venues, Tokyo Garden,
located 1711 Fulton Street in downtown Fresno. On the first
Sunday of every month, local pianist and jazz educator Craig Von Berg
hosts a jam session with his trio, featuring John Lauffenburger on bass
and Brian Hamada on drums. On the third Sunday of the month, jazz
guitarist and Director of Jazz Studies at Fresno City College, Mike
Dana hosts the session, with his band. The sessions begin at 6:00pm.
Jazz has always been a musical form passed on from musician to
musician, and jam sessions have played a big role in the history of
jazz. The story of virutally every major jazz musician almost always
involves a jam session, as these are settings where musicians get to
try out new ideas, and learn the language of jazz. Musicians of all
levels are encouraged to participate, and should bring lead sheets (3)
for the rhythm section. It's a fun, entertaining and educational
experience, and a great way to get a taste of the local jazz scene.
