The Jazz DaddyOs, a jazz swing band from St. Petersburg, performed in the church's garden as the second installment of its free Midsummer Music on the Circle concert series.
The trio of musicians Eric Enfield, Wayne Pearson and Mary Miller combined their talents of wind instruments, piano and vocals to perform vintage jazz hits from New Orleans and other famous jazz cities for all of St. Armands Circle to hear. The night featured tunes from Frank Sinatra and other classic singers.
Vocalist Miller said the Jazz DaddyOs' mission is to revive the jazz and vintage music scene and inspire more children to play instruments. The musicians said they were thankful to bring their music and mission to the Circle.
SAKLC’s Minister of Music and Director of Operations Michael Bodnyk created the Midsummer Music on the Circle series to make music more accessible around Sarasota. He said they did the concert in their garden to contrast the Strings Con Brio concert from the previous week.
"Usually, this wouldn't be the time of year to a concert outside," said the Rev. Ken Blyth. "But, people love it when we do concerts in the garden, so we thought it would be perfect to change it up and also hopefully bring some joy to people walking around the Circle tonight."
