Jazz On Edge is about opportunity, for artists as well as listeners. For our 2008 show, the Claire Courchene project played their first live gig together; the Eastside Combo hadn't played their own music onstage in three years. 2008 was also the premiere Orlando appearance of Brian Groder: he returned in 2010 for the chance to jam with the likes of local greats Per and Tamara Danielsson. Jazz On Edge 2010 was the first Central Florida appearance of the Tiptons Sax Quartet – in fact, it was the first jazz show presented at the Garden Theatre, and the only time internationally renowned pianist Edward Simon, a resident of nearby Orange City, had performed in the Orlando area, with his family in the audience. 2010 was the start of our House Concert'cast series, presenting The Cook Trio in an intimate setting, along with writer Belinda Hulin and poet Sharon Hoffmann, for an in-house and on-line audience. We repeated that successful format in 2011 with the Per Danielsson Trio, writer David Berner and playwright Joseph Reed Hayes.
