Northampton Jazz Workshop features guitarist Draa Hobbs
Northampton Jazz Workshop features guitarist Draa Hobbs in a tribute to the late saxophonist and educator Scott Mullett Tuesday, April 10th, 7:30 to 8:30PM followed by an open jazz jam until 10:30 PM at the The City Sports Grille at Spare Time Northampton, 525 Pleasant St., Northampton.
Hi All,
I've been looking forward to this week for a while now. We will be remembering and paying tribute to one of our first guest artists, Scott Mullett who passed away suddenly several months ago. He was a good friend, a great musician and a mentor to an amazing number of young players. On Tuesday, many of those friends of Scott's will be playing music for him while also raising money to continue his legacy of inspiring and supporting young musicians. All profits and tips from the night will go to the Scott Mullett Fund for Jazz Education', which is managed by the Keene Jazz Orchestra. The music will start with guitarist Draa Hobbs along with the trio and then be joined by many others including Steve Cady (who is the new director of the Keene Orchestra), George Robinson, Franz Robert, Jahian-Cooper, John Stowell and many others. If you can't make the concert but would like to make a donation by mail you can send a check to and payable to:

Also, this night will be the 8th Anniversary of the Workshop so we will be remembering our beginnings and bassist Dave Shapiro who was a regular collaborator with Scott as well as a co-founder of the Workshop before his passing. I expect the place to be packed all night long so join us when you can.
Paul Arslanian.
