The Summer Music Series was being hosted by the staple Pasadena bookstore. Pasadena Conservatory of Music was on bill this time, with wonderful contemporary jazz performances from Danny Janklow on sax, Dan Stein on bass, Anthony Fung on drums, and Dennis Hamm on keys.
PCM is a community music school for people in preschool to adults, with 40 years of teaching under their belt. This is their third year partnering with Vroman’s to bring fantastic music to the Pasadena community. Janklow and the band performed songs like Philifornia and other pieces written and arranged by Janklow himself, with amazing solos from each member. They also included four students of the program, performing the jazz classic “There will never be another you.”
The Vroman’s Summer concert Series will continue for the remainder of the summer with another group from PCM joining them in two weeks.
