February 8th
The Gentle Rain Band is made up from the very best musicians in the Colorado Springs area. These musicians have the talent and experience that you normally only find in New York or LA. The Band plays a variety of styles, but for the Pikes Peak Jazz and Swing 2nd Sunday, their focus will be on Jazz, Swing, Blues and a few surprises. Leading the band are Ed and Marcie Hureau.
Ed will be playing saxophone and adding in a few vocals. Marcie, always ready to sing - period! Her vocal styling will make you believe every song she sings!! Jim Christian will be on guitar and vocals, always such a pleasure. We also add in the best of the best with Stefan Flores on drums, Paul McDaniels on bass and Brad Bietry on piano.

The monthly newsletter, Pikes Peak Jass Notes, and the weekly email blast, PPJASS eNotes, provide information about jazz events and programs, locations of clubs which feature jazz in the Colorado Springs area and other news of interest to the jazz lover.

Outstanding regional high school student/musicians interested in jazz are encouraged through the $2,000 Danny Stevenson Memorial Scholarship awarded annually to a student planning to continue jazz studies in college.
Professional musicians are recognized by the Alice Award given annually to an individual who exhibits a high degree of musical talent and experience, and who also possesses those intangible attributes that can only be described as "class."
The mission of the Pikes Peak Jazz And Swing Society is to preserve, support and foster jazz in its various forms; to provide encouragement to jazz musicians in their efforts; to provide scholarships for jazz education; to assist members in their knowledge and enjoyment of jazz; to provide a focal point for the exchange of information about jazz and jazz musicians, and to provide a social environment in which to experience jazz.
