YBOR CITY- The Tampa Jazz Club brings another jazz-filled day with a special "When October Goes" concert in conjunction with the Suncoast Jazz Festival, as part of the HCC Visual and Performing Arts Series at 3 p.m. Sunday (Oct. 28) at the HCC Ybor Mainstage Theatre, 1411 E 11th Ave.

The concert is a collaboration of dynamic jazz and world music vocalists Fred Johnson and Synia Carroll, who will team up with the Phil Magallanes Trio as well.

The concert marks the debut of Synia Carroll, the Philadelphia native who has developed a strong following since moving to Sarasota four years ago. Her acclaimed CD Here's to You distinguished her in Florida's jazz scene, and she has collaborated with the Bay area's top jazz artists.

For Fred Johnson, this isn't his first rodeo at the Mainstage, but in addition to his local fame, the jazz great has also toured with B.B. King, the late-great Aretha Franklin, Miles Davis, and recently Chick Corea where he performed the encore at Corea's recent solo concert in Clearwater.

Joining Johnson and Carroll are a new trio of veteran musicians including pianist Phil Magallanes, who recently toured with Al DiMeola, bassist Michael Ross and drummer James Varnado.

Tickets are available at the door or online for $20 for adults, $15 for Tampa Jazz Club members, $10 for students with an ID and free to HCC Students and Faculty. For more information visit tampajazzclub.com or call (727) 771-7415.
