Sat 8/31 @ 2-9:30PM
Ohio City’s Hingetown neighborhood is already a hub for jazz, with the BOP STOP being the area’s top jazz venue right now. For the one-day Hingetown, the BOP STOP will be one of three venues with free performances throughout the day. The other two, Jukebox and the Transformer Station, with just a block away so it’s easy to hop between venues and discover music you like. (The shows are staggered, but they do overlap). It’s a chance to catch a lot of the area’s most skilled jazz musicians on a single day in one place.
It kicks off at 2 with the Ron Hubbard trio at the BOP STOP with sax player Dave Sterner taking the stage at the Transformer station at 2:30 and the Tim Picard Trio going on at Jukebox at 3. Many of the acts are smaller ensembles, but the high-energy seven-piece Da Land Brass Band will blow the roof off the BOP STOP at 4:30, followed by the Stephen Philip Harvey Octet at 5:30. Stick around to hear versatile, acclaimed vocalist Evelyn Wright perform with equally versatile, ubiquitous pianist Joe Hunter at the Transformer Station at 6:45, Akron-based sax player Nathan-Paul Davis with his trio at Jukebox at 7:15, the rapidly rising Alla Boara who filter traditional Italian folk music through jazz at 7:45 at the BOP STOP, and closing things out, yet another great sax player, Ronell Regis, at the BOP STOP from 8:45-9:30pm.
Once again, it’s free. It’s sponsored by Local 4 of the Cleveland Musicians’ Union; find a full schedule here.
