Last time we offered this program at Dazzle it sold out two shows, so advanced tickets are strongly recommended.

Dazzle @ the Arts Complex is Denver’s NEW premier venue for eclectic eats & cocktails that fuel jazz fans who visit this supper club for the nightly live acts. The NEW location is at 1080 14th Street, just east of Arapahoe.

FJO is a professional 18-piece BIG BAND, and we mean BIG: 5 saxes, 4 trumpets, 4 trombones, piano, guitar, bass, drums, and one of the finest jazz singers in America, Deborah Stafford. SO big, we barely fit on the stage.
