Trumpeter Jeff Bordes returns to the Firehouse Arts Center on Saturday, August 2, at 8:00 p.m. This time he presents a special production packed with guest artists in a big tribute to the great Louis "Satchmo" Armstrong. Jeff Bordes & The Burnt Ends featuring vocalist Meredith McHenry will be joined by special guests Lorin Rowan (from The Rowan Brothers) and San Francisco's "speakeasy jazz" duo, Tumbledown House. Show includes classics like Mack the Knife, When the Saints, What a Wonderful World, along with many lesser-known Satchmo gems. A night of swing and swamp-jazz!
SPECIAL NOTE: For all summer shows, the Firehouse Arts Center Theater is transformed from traditional row-style seating into a cabaret/club setting, complete with tables and chairs for patrons who purchase tickets on the main floor. (Balcony seats will remain theater-style seating.) The Cellar Door, which operates concessions at the Firehouse, will be on hand with small plates, chocolates, wine and other beverages available for purchase.
Bay Area jazz trumpeter and Pleasanton native Jeff Bordes needs no introduction to jazz fans. A 1997 graduate of the famed jazz school Berklee College of Music in Boston, Bordes has been not only playing since very young, but changing the face of jazz. Career highlights include live performances and recording projects with such greats as Branford Marsalis, Alex Acuna, Richie Cole, Tom Petty, Stevie Nicks, Sheryl Crow, and most recently John Mellencamp. He has done performance tours of the US and internationally with a number of groups, including Bill Berry Big Band and the great Dizzy Gillespie.
