Help us celebrate and remember our beloved drummer, teacher and friend, Quindrey Davis, at the unveiling of his mural tomorrow, July 11th. The Spokane Jazz Society was honored to sponsor this project. The ceremony will be held at 2:00pm at 22 W Main St. in Spokane.

Drey’s family believes mural is about preserving his legacy. It is about giving future generations a chance to know the man behind the stories and ensuring that Spokane never forgets someone who was “a light” in the community.

Artist Spotlight: Tango Volcado

Tango Volcado, formed in 2009, is a Spokane based tango group whose aim is to familiarize people with the sound of tango, not just the dance. Although they cannot wait to dance with you as well! There are 4 members of this ensemble, Patricia Bartell playing Accordion, Jody Graves playing Piano, Eugene Jablonsky playing Bass and Tana Bland playing Violin.

The SJO will warmly welcome them to take the stage on May 9th at the 49th season finale.
