Heidi Evelyn: Hollywood’s Golden Age of Jazz

Heidi Evelyn brings the magic of Hollywood’s Golden Age to Stookey’s Blue Room — a leading Bay Area expert on vintage vocal jazz whose deep knowledge of authentic early jazz stylings, from ragtime and early blues to New Orleans traditional jazz and vintage swing, shines through every note she sings. Joined by New Orleans-based pianist Kris Tokarski — whose mastery of the early piano traditions of Jelly Roll Morton, James P. Johnson, Earl Hines, and Teddy Wilson gives him an all-encompassing voice deeply rooted in the jazz piano tradition — this is an evening of true vintage glamour. Stookey’s Blue Room provides the perfect atmosphere to step directly into the golden age of Hollywood, so dress to impress and come ready to be transported.
