Last Monday, Tampa’s godfather of jazz, Bob Seymour, welcomed young, Seminole-reared, charismatic, saxophonist Trace Zacur to WMNF 88.5-FM’s “Jazz In the Night” program. On-air, the Berklee College Of Music graduate and David Pate-disciple detailed how his septet—including vocalist Theo Valentin, percussionist Gumbi Ortiz and pianist Jason Park—will give voice to classic R&B songs plus jazz from New Orleans with selections that push the musicians out of their comfort zones, too.

And as an FYI, there’s no Bob Seger in the setlist either.

Tickets to see Trace Zacur play the Side Door Cabaret inside St. Petersburg’s Palladium Theater on Saturday, July 29 are still available and start at $25.
