Co-sponsored by Patois Records and the Jazzschool, the “All That Jazz” Benefit Gala will feature Patois Records' very own composer/trombonist Wayne Wallace, Kristina, the VW Brothers as well as the Jazzschool’s award-winning High School “Studio Band” Big Band. The benefit concert took place at the legendary Yoshi’s Jazz Club and Restaurant in San Francisco’s historic Fillmore District. The Gala was a huge sucess!
