Jazz Lyrics

A jazz concert open on season with the crowd–pleasing sounds of Duke Heitger and Butch Thompson’s New Orleans Wanderers. The foundation of the Wanderers is Duke’s hot and sweet trumpeting, combined with Butch’s super–human piano technique. Throw in the delightful singer Topsy Chapman along with other top–flight musicians as spice, and you have an award–winning gumbo for sure. Duke, Butch and Topsy are all veterans of many National Public Radio appearances.

Duke Heitger is Louis Armstrong–inspired trumpet, brash leads makes music that swings happily, compulsively, and convincingly. And Butch Thompson an almost superhuman technique on piano, He takes no back seat to anyone. Come to see at June 19th, book up your ticket now at Filoli.org
