We've hosted RJ Spanger and Friends here at Royal Oak twice a year for the past few years. All the musicians he brings are fabulous and very well received. He's bringing James O'Donnell back on December 9 at 3 pm for a *Swingin Holiday,* and also on February 10 at 3 pm. RJ will return for a Fat Tuesday Celebration. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. ​Mary Ann -- Mary Ann DeKane Head of Adult Services Royal Oak Public Library 248-246-3714 On Mon, Aug 28, 2017 at 5:13 PM, Matt Church via Michlib-l < michlib-l@mcls.org> wrote:

Hi all,

Sharing the below opportunity to bring FREE and LIVE jazz to your community! It's always a pleasure working with RJ! We hosted the Phil Hale Trio/Quartet last year and had a fabulous response. We partnered with a church in the community to have his group play there. Highly recommended!

Looking for dates in November, December & beyond.

We offer a FREE JAZZ CONCERT, underwritten by the Jazz Foundation of America. For one hour, the Phil Hale Trio/Quartet will perform & also speak about this great American art form. This gifted musician has been playing the keys for over thirty years. It's clearly second nature. From All Star jam sessions to smoky after-hours clubs he rarely misses his opportunity to sit down at the keys and lay down a groove that simply fits. In high demand on the jazz, gospel, rhythm & blues, house, funk & techno scenes his creativity seems almost endless.
