Jazz is Dead–the acclaimed all-star instrumental ensemble famous for jazz-influenced interpretations of classic Grateful Dead songs–announced they’ll return with a tour to celebrate their 25th anniversary in January.
Co-founder Alphonso Johnson will be joined by Steve Kimock, Pete Lavezzoli and Bobby Lee Rodgers in performing Grateful Dead’s Wake of The Flood (marking the legendary album’s own 50th anniversary), in addition to other beloved selections from the Dead catalog.
Jazz Is Dead XXV will kick off with an appearance at the Lodge Room in Los Angeles’ Highland Park on Sunday, Jan. 8, 2023–one of five shows tabbed for the Golden State–and is slated for 17 stops, including a Western swing and four Midwest dates. The highly renowned run will wrap in the Northeast at the tail end of January with performances in Boston and New York City.
The 25th Anniversary run, as well, reunites founding bassist Johnson with guitarist Kimock, both vets of the post-Grateful Dead outfit, The Other Ones.
