Ybor City is usually the place for a Tampa Jazz Club gig, but this weekend, the coalition tries something, well, new, and is in New Tampa.

The neighborhood’s Performing Arts Center hosts the jazz ensemble from nearby University of South Florida, and attendees can expect to see saxophonist Jack Wilkins (Director of the Jazz Studies program at USF) play tunes from Horace Silver, Cannonball Adderley and Miles Davis alongside a heavyweight ensemble featuring trombone player Tom Brantley, trumpeter James Suggs (pictured), pianist Pablo Arencibia, guitarist LaRue Nickelson and more.

Tickets to see the USF Faculty Jazz Ensemble play the New Tampa Performing Arts Center on Thursday, Sept. 14 are still available and start at $15. Subscribe to Creative Loafing newsletters.
