JAZZ
Darren Motamedy
Smooth jazz isn’t just for sick people in medical-office waiting rooms. Every Sunday the Cedarwood Dome pack them in upstairs for Smooth Jazz Sundays with saxophonist Darren Motamedy. Besides one of the nicest guys you’ll ever meet, Motamedy blends jazz with pop, funk, and blues to create an contagious sound.

Milton too far to drive you lazy smooth jazzer?

JAZZ
Pearl Django
Bobble Tiki wonders why Django Reinhardt is so hot right now, no less than 80 years after he started cutting hot jazz 78s? That’s a question best left for cultural theorists not a wooden numbskull â€" suffice it to say that Pearl Django pays homage and expands upon Reinhardt’s blazing Parisian Gypsy sound.  â€" Bobble Tiki
