Jazz Vespers in Danville

Peace Lutheran Church in Danville holds a jazz concert series, the second Sunday of the month in Danville, CA. An article in today's Chronicle talks with Ed Klitch, who produces the series and flutist John Calloway who performs this Sunday at 5 pm with his band Diaspora, featuring pianist Murray Low, bassist David Belove, drummer David Flores and trumpeter Mike Olmos.

Rather than focusing on material exploring religious themes, jazz vespers services give musicians the opportunity to perform in an environment conducive to intimate, soul-bearing communication.

Future Jazz at Peace concerts include the Dave Rocha Quartet on Jan. 8, the Anton Schwartz Quartet on Feb. 12 and pianist Paul Scheffert's trio on March 12.
