($5-$10 | 6:30pm & 8pm Sets) Multi-instrumentalist Marco Rosano leads the Swamp Donkeys band way out west for the most swingin’ night of traditional jazz every other Wednesday!
The New Orleans Swamp Donkeys Traditional Jass Band specializes in “Traditional Jass,” also known as Hot Jazz and Early Jazz. The band’s focus on early greats like King Oliver and Louis Armstrong has created a raving, global following. Truly, this band spans more than a century, and while they are very often called upon for their utterly authentic approach to the traditional, they’re called upon equally as often for their brass band and progressive adaptations.
“Hot Jazz Wednesdays” take you back to the roots of jazz with music from the 1920s and ’30s. Every 1st, 3rd & 5th Wednesday, Swamp Donkeys West perform music from New Orleans. 2nd and 4th Wednesdays are reserved for the Hot Club of Tucson, which performs French Jazz Manouche in the style of Django Reinhardt & Stéphane Grappelli.

—THE BAND FEEL—A band of artists with the mindset of creating and playing music with the passion and focus that once was, and now is. Sounds and feel of the past made present once again. This group nods at the blues, jazz, and rock & roll roots of St. Louis, stirs in the experimental revolution of the 1960s, and incorporates the vast array of sounds introduced by British hard rock and Laurel Canyon that defined the sound of the 70s – intertwining to become what is now known as The Band Feel.
The band has been making a name for themselves opening for Cheap Trick, 38 Special, Rival Sons, and John Waite, and they’re excited to be back on the road supporting their new single “Find A Love.”

($15-$25 | 6:30pm Show) Wholly Cats Swing Club present music of the great swing era!
Wholly Cats Swing Club are Tucson’s ambassadors of the Great Swing Era, specializing in the music of the Benny Goodman Sextet featuring America’s first Guitar Hero, Charlie Christian. They have quickly gained a following as Tucson’s premier Swing Band and have been performing at several dance and jazz venues in the area while helping give rise to the live local dance scene.
The band was formed by Marc Rosen and Tony Spear, whose mutual love of these artists sparked an idea for a dance band with multi-generational appeal. In addition to the songs of Goodman and Christian, their repertoire includes popular classic hits by Duke Ellington, Nat King Cole, Peggy Lee, Louis Armstrong, Louie Prima and even contemporary artists like Tom Waits and Imelda May.

($30-$40 tickets | 6:30pm & 8:30pm shows) Blue Note recording artist, pianist and composer Nduduzo Makhathini travels from South Africa with his trio to perform at the Century Room, presented with Arizona Arts Live!
Nduduzo Makhathini (piano) Zwelakhe Duma Bell le Pere (bass) Kabelo Boy Mokhatla (drums)
Nduduzo Makhathini grew up in the lush and rugged hillscapes of umGungundlovu in South Africa, a peri-urban landscape in which music and ritual practices were symbiotically linked. The area is significant historically as the site of the Zulu king Dingane kingdom between 1828 and 1840. It’s important to note that the Zulu, in fact the African warrior code, is deeply reliant on music for motivation and healing. This deeply embedded symbiosis is key to understanding Makhathini’s vision.
The church also played a role in Makhathini’s musical understanding, as he hopped from church to church in his younger days in search of only the music. The legends of South African jazz are deep influences as well, in particular Bheki Mseleku, Moses Molelekwa, and Abdullah Ibrahim. “The earlier musicians put a lot of emotions in the music they played,” he says. “I think it may also be linked to the political climate of those days. I also feel there is a uniqueness about South African jazz that created an interest all around the world and we are slowly losing that too in our music today. I personally feel that our generation has to be very conscious about retaining these nuances in the music we play today.”

KULULULU (TUC/PDX)
Kulululu has traveled long and far to finally arrive on earth. While here, Kulululu is in search of the answers to the questions; why? and why not? You may not understand what they are saying. You may not understand why they look the way they do. They may not understand these things either. What’s important is that time is continuous, and without it we cannot find our way back to where we started.
