July 11 – Jazz Fusion by the Katja Rieckermann Group

Katja Rieckermann is a true “horn star.” Born and raised in Luebeck, a small town in the north of Germany, she didn’t start playing the saxophone until she was 21. That’s also when she moved to Hamburg to study music. Restless and looking for a challenge, she eventually made it to Hollywood, California, the starting point of so many successful careers. Rieckermann continues to perform and selling out her shows with her all star band playing her original material in legendary jazz clubs like the Baked Potato and Herb Alpert’s Vibrato Grill Jazz. All of her music is available on all streaming outlets.

The Brand Library & Art Center is located at 1601 W. Mountain St. in Glendale.
