Baritone Saxophonist Dr. Ralph Branch and his band, The Keynotes have welcomed musicians to "jam" on Friday nights for nearly 25 years. RJS will present Dr. Branch with its 2006 VA JAZZ AWARD in appreciation of his years of service to the Jazz Community.
RJS will also recognize many of Richmond’s “Senior” Jazz musicians with special Certificates of Appreciation!
The Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of American History has led this initiative since 2001 and has enlisted a distinguished roster of federal agencies and departments, non-governmental organizations, foundations, Jazz societies and broadcasting networks.

RJS SUBSCRIBERS GET DISCOUNT TO JANE MONHEIT CONCERT
THE PARAMOUNT THEATRE
CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA
Saturday, April 8, 2006, 8 pm
Ever
since wowing the judges at 1998’s Thelonious Monk Competition,
when she was just twenty, Jane Monheit has been one of the
hottest new singers in jazz. What she brings to singing at such
a tender age astonishes even jazz veterans. Monheit has already
conquered Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, the Hollywood Bowl, the
Kennedy Center and London's Royal Festival Hall, and graced the
stages of prestigious New York jazz clubs. Beyond the dazzle of
her youth, beauty and infectious charm are the uncanny
perception and soul with which she embraces the classic songs of
the Great American Songbook.
Tickets: $30 • $27 • $24
$3 Discount for RJS Subscribers with ID Card!
Box Office: 434.979.1333 || Email: info@theparamount.net
