A jazz tribute to the Grateful Dead's 'Wake of the Flood' LP happens this weekend in St. Pete

It ain’t Bob Weir and John Mayer onstage together, but as you know, every silver lining’s got a touch of grey.

Jazz Is Dead

Still bummed that you’ll never get to see Dead and Company live in Tampa?

If it makes you feel any better, Jazz Is Dead—an instrumental jazz ensemble paying tribute to Jerry Garcia and friends—is celebrating the 50th anniversary of The Grateful Dead’s Wake of the Flood album, and will perform the majority of the record.

It ain’t Bob Weir and John Mayer onstage together, but as you know, every silver lining’s got a touch of grey.

Tickets to see Jazz Is Dead play Jannus Live in St. Petersburg on Saturday, May 20 are still available and start at $28.50.
