The Dikeou Collection presents the fifteenth installment of the Fresh Jazz and Crisp Vinyl Series on Friday, June 24, with a special live performance by local quartet Paramitcha and a DJ set by Isaac Linder to open and close the evening. This event is free and open to the public and will take place at Dikeou Pop-Up: Colfax, 312 E Colfax Ave from 7-10pm. Light refreshments will be provided.
Paramitcha began in 2010 as an offshoot of the University of Colorado Denver’s longstanding traditional/Dixieland jazz ensemble, The Claimjumpers. Members of the band became infatuated with the music of Django Reinhardt and decided to start a side project to honor this timeless music. What began in the classroom, quickly spread to local venues. The band was even able participate in the Jazz en Vercors Festival in Villard de Lans, France in 2010. 2016 has seen a reemergence of the group, swinging harder than ever after years spent honing their individual skills. Their high energy, rhythmically driven set is sure to get the crowd out of their seat and, while rooted in tradition, appeals to music lovers of all generations.
The ensemble will include Armando Lopez on saxophone and clarinet, Colin Clark on guitar/vox, Brant Williams on guitar, and Zach Antonio playing bass/vox.

The Fresh Jazz and Crisp Vinyl Series focuses on jazz musicians living and working today, whose names are not yet embossed into history, but whose energy, wisdom, well worn instruments, and presence in the jazz scene are further defining our admiration for the life form, Jazz music. Selections from the vinyl archive will thus serve as a remembrance to all the jazz greats who came before the jazz musicians invited to play at this bi-monthly series.
