JOIN THE MUSE JAZZ COLLECTIVE AS WE CELEBRATE 100 YEARS OF MILES DAVIS AND JOHN COLTRANE

Born just months apart in 1926, Miles Davis and John Coltrane would become two of the most influential voices in Jazz. In the late 1950s, their paths converged at a pivotal moment—not only in their own development, but in the evolution of the music itself. Join The Muse Jazz Collective as we celebrate 100 years of Miles and Trane—and the enduring power of Jazz to bring different voices together, create new possibilities, and awaken beauty, love, and justice in the world. Tickets available at Eventbrite:

Concord's town plaza, dedicated to the people of the town by founder Don Salvio Pacheco, was bounded by Mt. Diablo, Fernando, Grant, and Main Streets. Its tall eucalyptus and cypress trees and many shrubs shaded the tables, benches, and bandstand. Band concerts, dances, and political speeches were given in the plaza, and picnics and celebrations for the holidays and special events were also held there.

In 1861, a six-acre site (near Bisso Lane today) was purchased from Don Salvio Pacheco to become the county fair site. The annual fair, held in the second week of October, was the biggest event in the county. Schools were closed and families traveled long distances to attend. Sulky races were held, ladies competed for prizes in cooking, baking, sewing and more, while the Pacheco Brass Band added to the festivities. Giant produce and the latest in farm equipment was displayed. Not to be forgotten was the ladies' broom drill team!
