Concord's Muze Jazz Collective Presents:

SAXOPHONE COLOSSUS: A TRIBUTE TO SONNY ROLLINS

Join us for an unforgettable evening honoring an artist whose sound helped shape modern jazz and whose life reminds us that beauty can inspire hope, love can bridge divisions, and music can become a voice for justice. As Sonny Rollins proved throughout his remarkable career, jazz is not merely entertainment—it is a living conversation about what humanity can become.

The Neustaedter store,on the south side of Salvio Street near Galindo Street, was the gathering place for Concord’s townsfolk to exchange news and opinions. On cool days, they gathered around the potbelly stove in the rear of the store. In the dry-goods section were bolts of cloth, veiling, clothes, and shoes. Neustaedter's daughters operated a millinery department. In the general hardware section were farm tools, hay and grain. The grocery department stocked barrels of crackers, salt fish, beans, pickles, and coffee. When children came in after school, they were often given treats of cheese and crackers. The photo was taken around 1890.
