Strasbourg events

From 2014-16 Rick set up the "Strasbourg Jazz Initiative" association, that organized regular jazz nights every Tuesday evening at the Abattoir Cafe in Strasbourg, France. When the cafe changed ownership, he posted the following message on the “SJI” website:

“We founded the Strasbourg Jazz Initiative several years ago in response to the disheartening absence of a live jazz club in Strasbourg, a city that in many other areas has so much culture on offer. As Americans we grew up in a culture where, by being played on a regular basis in local bars and restaurants, jazz had a chance to thrive and grow. Such local establishments offer a more intimate setting for musicians and fans alike than Strasbourg's rich concert and festival scene. Between 2012 and 2015, the SJI organized a regular Tuesday music night so locals could experience live jazz in such a setting on a regular basis. After 3 full seasons, the Abattoir cafe was sold and we suspended this activity. Many thanks to all of you who came to enjoy and participate in this new (but old!) experience which our city deserves.
Rick Hannah (president) & Susan Vaillant (secretary), Strasbourg Jazz Initiative”

Below, a few photo memories from those evenings.

Other guest musicians included drummer Bob Shomo, Singer Karin Hannah, Singer Eva Laetitia, Trumpeter Steffen Dix and Acoustic Bass Player Johnannes Staedlich.
