#DukeEllington tropette player her The Jazz Salon live stream is about to start. No cost, no registration at YouTube.com/c/TheJazzSalon and AlertTheGlobe.com! Please consider supporting us by becoming a Jazz Salon Patron! Go to https://www.patreon.com/JazzSalon to see how easy it is! Bob, Gil and Rich have already stepped up to help, at $20, $10 and $7/month, respectively. There is also a $4/month level (just $1/week) to support each week's show and live stream. The next goal is to increase the weekly pay for our vocalists and the Jazz Salon All Stars. You can help make that happen! A $50/week raise for them will require $800/month from Patrons. That's just 200 Patrons at the $4 level, or just 40 Patrons at the $20 level. Thank you!! #MariaHowell has a warm, powerful voice that caresses every song she sings. She loves people and you can feel that in the audience. Maria will include some great holiday songs in her setlist!  Maria Howell Backing Maria will (mostly) be the Jazz Salon All Stars! #NolanShaheed, our great cornet player, played in both Duke Ellington and Count Basie bands, before touring with Stevie Wonder, Diana Ross, Natalie Cole, Marvin Gaye and Phil Collins! #RickeyWoodard will be back from playing with Steve Tyrell in NYC! After spending 7 years with Ray Charles, Rickey played with such world renown artists as Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Duke Ellington, Diana Krall, B.B. King, Leon Russell, Michael Buble, Gladys Knight, Kenny Burrell, Cedar Walton, Horace Silver, and Ernie Watts!  #MarkMassey is out this week, but we have found an exciting pianist to sub for him - Ed Czach. Ed is the pianist in the exciting Cannonball-Coltrane project, so you know his chops are first-rate!
