Jim Burge and the Jazz Directions will welcome Braden River High School student Jordan Sanders Hawkins as their special guest musician during their next ‘Jazz with Jim’.
Hawkins, a junior at BRHS in Brandenton, is the first tenor sax in the advanced jazz band and is the co-manager of River Rhapsody, BRHS’s elite performing choir.
Jazz with Jim is a monthly concert hosted by local musician and former Hillsborough Community College instructor and Director of Music, Jim Burge. The concert is best known for fusing personal stories by the musicians with popular jazz tunes suited for that month’s theme. In addition to the personal stories, patrons can purchase home baked goods donated by the Center’s volunteers, which help complete the intimate ambience. A cash bar is also available at the event.
