Colin Hancock and the Joymakers

Colin Hancock will lead the Joymakers for the Austin Traditional Jazz Society on Sunday, October 20,  from 2 to 5 pm at Ben Hur Shrine Temple, 7811 Rockwood Lane, Austin.  Colin Hancock, a taken jazz musician on a number of instruments, is also a noted jazz historian.  Last year, he was nominated for a Grammy Award, and is a recent recipient of the Independent Initiatives Award from the Association for Recorded Sound Collections.

The Joymakers specialize in the music of college jazz bands of the 1920s.  This should be a fun afternoon of jazz played by experts. 

There is plenty of free parking at Ben Hur.  The hall contains a large dance floor.  Snacks, beer, wine and sodas are available.  Patrons can bring their own food.  ATJS concerts are family-friendly. 

Season memberships can be purchased at the door or by visiting http://www.atjs.org . Guests can enter for $12 and college students with ID and members of the Austin Jazz Society are $5.
