L.A. Hot Jazz

La Hot Jazz



July 26 @ 8:00 pm - 10:00 pm 

The Buttonwood Tree will be sizzlin’ on July 26, when La Hot Jazz
performs with sophistication and style. These seasoned musicians will
add a unique flavor and charisma to The Buttonwood Tree’s jazz event.
The band performs the Great American Songbook with a lineup of voice,
upright bass, saxophone, drums, and piano.


La Hot Jazz recently recorded “Under the Moonlight” at Rotary Records
in West Springfield, MA. On this CD you will hear sophisticated
renditions of familiar favorites like Black Coffee, East of the Sun, and
I Love Paris.


Vocalist Sue Lopes was educated at the Hartford Conservatory. She has
thrilled crowds from Hartford to Chicago over the past 15 years with
her unique, sultry renditions of the jazz canon. On upright bass, you
will hear the remarkable David Hosking who has performed professionally
since the age of nineteen. Dave studied under Rick Rozzi, Principal Bass
of the Hartford Symphony, and Dr. Bruce Bellingham, Professor Emeritus
of Music History at UConn. Saxophonist and flautist Ralph Martin is a
graduate of the Berklee College of Music. As music director of La Hot
Jazz he ensures that the musical experience the band cooks up is both
fresh and authentic. Drummer and band leader Louie Delorso studied with
the great Jim Handley, and has honed his craft over decades to develop
an outstanding level of musicianship on the skins. Pianist Jerry
Aiyathurai adds a deft classical touch, drawing on his eight years with
the ABRSM program of the Royal College of Music (London).
