Jazz Vocalist, Violinist, Emmaline, appearing on Aug. 21 at the Place Downtown
By popular demand, a young jazz singer and violinist, Emmaline Campbell, returns to The Place Downtown in Panama City with a formidable trio for another unforgettable evening of jazz. She is joined by guitarist Ryan Mondak and bassist Steve Gilmore. Her appearance last January was sold out and extremely well received by an appreciative audience. This Gulf Jazz Society’s monthly event is scheduled for Tuesday, Aug. 21st at the Place Downtown at 6:30 pm.
Emmaline is a twenty year old Jazz-Soul vocalist, violinist, and songwriter who has been immersed in music since the age of four. She is currently a student at Cincinnati-College Conservatory of Music (CCM). Critics have praised Emmaline’s ethereal vocals and lyrics as well as her Grapelli-like jazz violin solo passages. She has performed to sold-out crowds in New York, Chicago, and many other venues in the United States.
Guitarist Mondak, a jazz studies major, has appeared throughout the midwest and south with “West of Staley”, a jazz combo he and Emmaline co-founded.
Local jazz bassist Steve Gilmore rounds out the trio. Gilmore is a legendary giant of the jazz bass. Having attended the Advanced School of Contemporary Music in Toronto, he studied with Ray Brown at Canada’s Royal Conservatory of Music. He then spent the next 40+ years pursuing a successful career during which he was bassist for Tony Bennett, Mel Torme, Mose Allison, Phil Woods, Al Cohn, Zoot Sims, Chet Baker, Dave Frishberg, and a host of other well-known jazz greats. Along the way, Gilmore managed to win three Grammy awards.
For reservations, call Larry or Amy at 784-2106. Pay at the door. Admission is $10 for GJS members and $12 for others. GJS membership applications will be available. The Place Downtown at 429 Harrison offers a full bar and a menu that includes a variety of sandwiches, salads, seafood, and steaks. The acoustics and intimate ambiance of The Place make it an ideal venue for Jazz. If possible, arrive early and have dinner before the performance.

A wonderful Jazz By The Bay 2017, Despite some threatening weather
Dear Members and Friends,
For those of you who are wondering what impact Hurricane Nate had on our Annual Jazz By The Bay Festival this past weekend, We can tell you it was minimal. Despite the threatening weather, the festival attracted a big and responsive crowd Friday night as the rain mercifully held off. But because of the grim Sat. forecast, we prudently moved the Sat.. schedule to the Shrimp Boat restaurant right down the street. The management allowed us to set-up in the large main dining area so we were able to complete our entire scheduled program in air-conditioned comfort in front of packed room. (However, we did cancel the Arnold High Jazz Band set to kick-off Saturday's program for logistical reasons.) So, thankfully, we defied the elements and were able to mount a successful festival. A big thanks to the musicians for their forbearance, to the volunteers or Board members and the Shrimp Boat for all the last minute adjustments.
