David Hoffman and Friends features an excellent lineup of well-know musicians from the Central Illinois area.  He will provide interesting insights as to how his songs were named.  Those who have attended previous programs know how talented David is as a writer and as a performer.  David has performed regularly with the Central Illinois Jazz Society House Band and as a guest performer.  He is well recognized as an instructor and mentor for developing musicians.  He also performed as an arranger and composer with the Ray Charles Orchestra throughout the world for more than 13 years.

The Central Illinois Jazz Society House Band will perform during the middle set, under the leadership of Larry Harms.  The CIJS House Band features outstanding jazz musicians from the area.  This talented group is the heart of our monthly jazz offerings for the jazz fans of Central Illinois.  We are grateful to them for their variety of live jazz offerings.  Come out and support them and Live Jazz.  For more information call 692-5330 or visit www.peoriajazz.com.  For more information about our new location, visit www.landmarkrec.com.  Food and beverages are available for purchase at this live jazz program.
