Event Details

Our special guest is jazz composer, pianist, and trombonist Mike Shellans. The band will perform six of Mike’s compelling original compositions, along with several familiar tunes in fresh new big band arrangements.
On Monday, December 17, DCJ is excited to make its debut at the Nash jazz club, 110 E. Roosevelt Street, Phoenix. In just six years, the Nash has become recognized as one of the best jazz clubs in the country, thanks to its comfortable atmosphere, stellar talent lineup, and educational programs. Doors open at 7:00 and the band starts at 7:30. Drinks and snacks are available for purchase.
The band will perform the same program on Saturday, November 17, at the Clarendon Hotel Sky Deck, 401 W. Clarendon Avenue, Phoenix.  Click here to buy tickets for the Clarendon on November 17th.  
Both venues have limited seating and the shows are expected to sell out in advance, so get your tickets early!
