A Sojoyful Holiday Jazz Jam

"A Sojoyful Holiday Jazz Jam"

Come join Sojoy, your favorite chordless little big band jazz septet, as they swing and groove you into the holiday spirit with their signature versions of some of your favorite, as well as some lesser-known, holiday melodies. Nothing brings more joy to the holiday times than music, and no group is more dedicated to the sound of joy than Sojoy!

"Proving that great music still exists even as new traditions are being forged." Portsmouth Herald

Jonny Peiffer began performing on the Seacoast in the late 90's with Drika Overton's Portsmouth Percussive Dance Festival and 'Clara's Dream: A Jazz Nutcracker.' Now with Sojoy, he has gathered an ensemble of the finest improvisers in the area to perform music he has composed and perfected over the past decade and a half. His influences range from Ben Allison, Jaco Pastorius, and Andrew Hill to Ellington, Mingus, and Monk. Sojoy is a new spin on a modern Big Band tradition.

Sojoy is:

Jonny Peiffer - drums
Eric Klaxton, Nick Mainella, & Matt Langley - reeds
Zach Lange & Brian Paulding - brass
Scott Kiefner - bass
