- Free Jazz Concert — April 15, 2024, 7:00 PM —
- As noted in the 3-28-24 Saddlebag Notes and AZ Daily Star, Mountain Shadows Presbyterian Church invited everyone to a free music concert on Monday, April 15 at 7:00 PM. One of our own members, trombonist JJ Johnston, played in the group. The evening concert featured about twenty musicians and a vocalist from the Oro Valley Jazz Band. In appreciation for use of rehearsal space at Mountain Shadows, the Band took up a free will offering and donated a major portion to Mountain Shadows. Like past performances of the Band, the room was full of energy and joy, causing everyone to sway with the beat of the music. For more information about the Band, see their Facebook page (https://m.facebook.com/orovalleyjazz).
