Fallin’ For Jazz


This Autumn, the GFBLA Jazz Band will present Fallin’ For Jazz at the Mayflower Club in North Hollywood. Whether you tap your feet to the beat, enjoy your favorite beverage, or just want to cut a rug, join us November 14th at 7:00PM!

The Big Band will take center stage, featuring jazz standards from masters like Harold Arlen, Josef Zawinul, and Dizzy Gillespie. We’ll feature a soloist or two, play some popular songs, and you won’t want to miss the vocal stylings of Allison Tan. There’s a great lineup of tunes guaranteed to make you want to get up and dance!

That’s not all! The saxophone section will entertain you with their syncopated stylings. Plus you’ll hear from a jazz combo that will delight you. Their versatility performing music from a range of styles and periods emphasizes improvisation and the talents of the players.

It’s sure to be a Jammin’ evening! Tickets available here or at the door.

The Mayflower Club is located at 11110 Victory Boulevard, in North Hollywood, CA 91606. All ages are welcome. There is a full bar available on site!

We can’t wait to see you on November 14th at 7PM at the Mayflower Club!
