TeJAS, short for Texas Jazz All-Stars, will be in the Robson Ranch clubhouse ballroom on Saturday, June 29, at 6:30 p.m. for your listening pleasure. You say, “I’ve never heard TeJAS!” Yes, you have. They were previously the Keller Area Youth Jazz Orchestra. They are repeat performers here at Robson Ranch, having performed twice in 2022 and 2023. Texas Jazz All-Stars is still based in Keller, but these teenage musicians come from as far away as Azle, Weatherford, Frisco, and Ennis. The new name better describes where these young musicians are from and who they are: All-Stars! These young musicians range in age from 14 to 17. TeJAS don’t sound like kids. The Robson Ranch performance is part of their very busy summer tour. They are especially excited to play in the air-conditioned comfort of the clubhouse, since most of their 4th of July activities will be outdoors.
TeJAS is hard at work in rehearsal to ensure a crowd-pleasing song lineup. Since this performance is the weekend before the 4th of July, you can count on some patriotic fare with a few dance tunes peppered in the playlist. And they always set aside a moment to salute our veterans. TeJAS founder and executive director Gary Phillips will emcee the event, and two musical sets will be directed by Mr. Dimas Delgado.
Tickets are $15 each and will be on sale Monday, June 17; Wednesday, June 19; Friday, June 21; Monday, June 24; and Wednesday, June 26, at the clubhouse foyer from 9 to 11 a.m. Tickets can also be purchased in advance via Venmo and Zelle.
