Grammy-award winning trombonist Jamie Dubberly formed Orquesta Dharma in 2008 as a studio project to record some original afro-cuban jazz material he had written and arranged. Since then the group has released two highly successful albums, and has performed live to enthusiastic audiences all over Northern California, including the San Jose Jazz Summerfest, Point Richmond Summer Concert Series, Redwood City Salsa Festival, Ashkenaz (Berkeley) , Club Cocomo (SF), Club Milano (SJ), Torch Club (Sacramento), Gallo Center for the Arts (Modesto), Carnegie Arts Center (Turlock,CA), and Take Five Jazz Club (Stockton CA), among other venues. The band’s debut album, Road Warrior, won the Latin Jazz Corner’s “Next Generation Album of the Year” award ( 2011), and their current release, La Clave Del Gumbo (2014) , was on top of the salsa charts from New York City to Cali, Colombia for their take on the iconic salsa anthem “La Esencia Del Guaguanco” , and was featured on Sirius/XM radio’s “Real Jazz” channel, and Latin Jazz Network as Album of the Week.

2017 RECAP

Now entering our 31st year, The Sonoma Valley Jazz Society is looking forward to presenting another diverse program of jazz in Sonoma in 2018.

The purpose of the Sonoma Valley Jazz Society is to enhance the appreciation of jazz as an American art form through live jazz performances and education in Sonoma Valley. We bring together our community by providing musician referrals and awarding youth scholarships and sponsoring clinics in local schools.

Our Tuesday Night Farmers Market concerts on the 2nd Tuesday of the month from June through September have become a local tradition.

In 2017 our programs included the Ladies of the Blues – Vocalists Denise Perrier, Rhonda Benin, Pamela Rose and Tiffany Austin accompanied by the Lillian Armstrong Tribute Band comprised of Tammy Hall – Piano, Aneesa String – Bass and Ruthie Price – Drums.

In July 2017 we presented Grammy Award Winner Javier Cabanillas with his Cabanijazz Project,

In August the Eddie Henderson Quartet featuring Sylvia Cuenca on Drums Essiet Essiet on Bass and Peter Zak on Piano.

Completing the summer program was Jeff Sanfords Cartoon Jazz Septet with Tunes from Toons.

The sold out Jazz in the Barn series held monthly included Tata Vega Quartet, the Ray Charles Project with Tony Lindsay, The Eddie Henderson Quartet and The Brian Nova Trio.

Our annual Members & Sponsors Party – free to our members & sponsors was held on December 3rd with vocalist Clairdee.

Scholarship Recipient Gio Mendez also performed with the trio which included Ken French – piano, Ron Belcher – Bass and Deszon Clairborne – Drums.

We are a small non-profit 501c3 organization solely funded by donations made by local citizens and business owners. The board is made up of a staff of volunteers. It’s the dedication of our volunteers, dues paying members and local Sonoma Valley businesses that make it all possible. Please join our community and let’s make 2018 another year of bright moments.
