July 24th @The Place - An Evening With Sinatra!
On Tuesday, July 24, 6:30 pm, the Gulf Jazz Society will feature Nick Martino at The Place in downtown Panama City. Nick is one of the foremost Sinatra vocal interpreters in the area. He will be joined by the Amanda Matthews Jazz Trio as he performs songs from the great American/Sinatra songbook.
Frank Sinatra is widely regarded as an artist who redefined singing as a means of personal expression. His sophisticated vocal approach was as natural as an intimate conversation. During a 50 year career and over 1400 recordings, Sinatra became a major icon of American music.
Nick Martino has been a Sinatra fan most of his life. Born in Boston, Nick grew up in a musical family. He started singing at an early age. Vocally trained in the jazz standards of Sinatra and other great singers, Nick has performed for several years at numerous venues, community events, and private parties. For the past 5 years, Nick has been the voice behind the highly acclaimed duet and local favorite, Martino & Tirado (The Voice, The Sax, The Music). His song list for the evening will include a crowd-pleasing selection of Sinatra ballads, jazz, and swing standards.
The Amanda Matthews Jazz trio is made up of the ever- popular and supremely talented Amanda on keyboard, three-time Grammy winner, Steve Gilmore on bass, and “first call” drummer, Charles Pagano on drums.
For reservations, call Larry or Amy at 784-2106. Pay at the door. Admission is $10 for GJS members and $12 for others. Membership applications will be available.
The Place 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. 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.
