Smooth Jazz Concert for the Cure: Sax on the River

Sax on the River was originally conceived by Trisha Friend who is the standing Treasurer of the Board of Directors of the Susan G. Komen Northern and Central Valley affiliate.  As a breast cancer survivor, she created the event to promote breast cancer awareness, to give back to non-profit organizations that help local women get the services they need and contribute to funding national research, as her lifelong wish is to see an end to breast cancer. Trisha also wanted to share her love of jazz, particularly the saxophone, with all her friends, breast cancer survivors and fellow jazz lovers in the Sacramento area.

This year’s event features saxophonists Marcus Anderson and Phil Denny, guitarist and Billboard chart topping artist Adam Hawley, local keyboardist Cecil Ramirez, and local musician and vocalist Daryl Black.   There will be amazing entertainment, food, wine, a silent auction and a raffle.
