Bryan J. Hughes and the Crew – A Holiday Celebration

Holiday songs from the band's recent seasonal recording make up this program at the John C. Court Cabaret. Singer Bryan J. Hughes, who has fronted the Sarasota Jazz Orchestra and holds down regular nights at St. Petersburg's Floridian Social Club, leads The Crew: Alejandro Arenas on bass, Jean Bolduc on drums, John O'Leary on keys and James Suggs on trumpet. The group's self-titled 2024 album was recorded in Franklin, Tennessee, with saxophonist Jeff Coffin sitting in. The Jazz Club of Sarasota, which books the series, bills the band as funny as well as accomplished.
