    The Buttonwood Tree will be sizzlin’ on July 26, when La Hot Jazz
    performs with sophistication and style. These seasoned musicians will
    add a unique flavor and charisma to The Buttonwood Tree’s jazz event.
    The band performs the Great American Songbook with a lineup of voice,
    upright bass, saxophone, drums, and piano.


    La Hot Jazz recently recorded “Under the Moonlight” at Rotary Records
    in West Springfield, MA. On this CD you will hear sophisticated
    renditions of familiar favorites like Black Coffee, East of the Sun, and
    I Love Paris.


    Vocalist Sue Lopes was educated at the Hartford Conservatory. She has
    thrilled crowds from Hartford to Chicago over the past 15 years with
    her unique, sultry renditions of the jazz canon. On upright bass, you
    will hear the remarkable David Hosking who has performed professionally
    since the age of nineteen. Dave studied under Rick Rozzi, Principal Bass
    of the Hartford Symphony, and Dr. Bruce Bellingham, Professor Emeritus
    of Music History at UConn. Saxophonist and flautist Ralph Martin is a
    graduate of the Berklee College of Music. As music director of La Hot
    Jazz he ensures that the musical experience the band cooks up is both
    fresh and authentic. Drummer and band leader Louie Delorso studied with
    the great Jim Handley, and has honed his craft over decades to develop
    an outstanding level of musicianship on the skins. Pianist Jerry
    Aiyathurai adds a deft classical touch, drawing on his eight years with
    the ABRSM program of the Royal College of Music (London).
