The Red Rose Jazz Project

What's a The Red Rose Jazz Project set list look like?

What a beautiful evening last night at Jazz on J Street with The Red Rose Gurls! The Red Rose Jazz Project performed for a room of about 95 wonderful people at Immanuel Presbyterian Church Tacoma who laughed and cried with us and we even had a super fun moment "free scatting" with everyone to Sylvia Dee's lovely song "Bring Me Sunshine"! 🌞

(Full set list in the comments...)

The lovely woman in the first photo was so excited - she had never seen an all women's Jazz Band o0n stage before.

Stay tuned for more shows later this year!
