Spokane Jazz Orchestra feat. Jace Fogelman

At face value, the Spokane Jazz Orchestra’s Christmas show is worth a visit, thanks to the presence of guest vocalist Jace Fogleman doing the holiday songs Canadian crooner Michael Buble loves, and the typical excellence of the country’s longest-running community-supported jazz orchestra. But this year’s concert takes on a special meaning as it will be the final show for trumpet player Keith LaMott, who’s performed with SJO for 43 years. LaMott has served in several roles with the orchestra, from music director to president of the board of trustees, and he’ll play a special farewell solo at Saturday’s show.
