On Friday, 22May2009, at the Damon Runyon Theater at 611 N. Main St. in downtown Pueblo, PSMA hosted the fourth concert in its family-oriented Showcase Music Gallery Series. "An Evening Passport to Jazz" featured Southern Colorado's premier jazz musicians as guest performers joining a base group of musicians with the whole show designed and directed by Carlos Crull. This Showcase Galllery jazz premiere will be filmed with the goal of creating a DVD of the performance. Tickets were $15 and $10 for reserved seating down in front and $5 for the balcony. As always, tickets were available from the Runyon box-office and any PSMA board member. Our next concert is being planned for early this fall and probably will be a "Country" oriented show.
