The Heavy Hitters Return To Chris' Jazz Cafe In November
The Heavy Hitters take the Stage November 22 & 23, and Chris' Jazz Café All Stars Perform on November 30.
The Heavy Hitters are hitting the stage at Chris' Jazz Café on Friday and Saturday, November 22 & 23.
Set times are 7:30 and 9:30 p.m. Admission is $35. The sound of the sextet, led by veteran pianist Mike LeDonne, evokes the golden era of jazz — the iconic Blue Note label of the 1950s and 60s. LeDonne, an internationally renowned pianist and organist, has played with a wide spectrum of jazz masters from Benny Goodman to Milt Jackson and Sonny Rollins.
Here's the full lineup for the weekend:
Friday, November 22
- Mike LeDonne, piano
- Sean Jones, trumpet
- John Webber, bass
- Kenny Washington, drums
- Mike DiRubbo, saxophonist
- Steve Davis, trombone
- Saturday, November 23
- Mike LeDonne, piano
- Sean Jones, trumpet
- John Webber, bass
- Kenny Washington, drums
- Eric Alexander, tenor sax
- Vince Herring, alto sax
After Thanksgiving, take a break from grazing on Turkey Day leftovers and catch the Chris' Jazz Café All Stars on Saturday, November 30. Set times are 7:30 and 9:30 p.m., and admission is $30. At only 25 years of age, guitarist Matthew Rotker Lynn has already played at top NYC jazz venues such as Smalls, The Django and Roxy Bar. He shares the stage with Alex Claffy on bass; Tyler Henderson on piano; Joe Peri, drums; and special guest Sam Dillion on saxophone.
Dinner & Show packages (including the 3-course chef tasting menu), VIP, and General Admission tickets are on sale now for all shows. Please check the website for ticket prices and arrival times. All tickets are premium seating. Streaming is also available on Chris' YouTube channel: @ChrisJazzCafePhilly.
