Deater O’Neill-vocals, Mike Crotty-trumpet/saxophones and flutes, Russ Schmidt-piano, Dwight Kilian-bass, Ken French-drums, Brett Reed-vibes. Composer/arranger Mike Crotty, singer Deater O’Neill and their sextet have put a new twist on the old, familiar Christmas tunes, combining some “special spices” with a bit o’ humor and surprise, and cooked up a jazzy evening that promises to delight kids of all ages. It’s some swinging, funky, foot-stompin’, musical holiday fun! For the second year, they have joined with the U.S. Marine Corps and its “Toys for Tots” Program to collect toys for the Phoenix area’s children in need. They hope you’ll bring a new, unwrapped toy and join them for this annual event and one of the season’s most heart-warming jazz performances!...
