Cynthia Sayer's Hot Jazz Trio

Banjo ace Cynthia Sayer performed to a sellout crowd Saturday at the Glenridge Performing Arts Center in Sarasota with her Hot Jazz Trio, featuring bassist Don Mopsick and trombonist Bill Allred.


Sayer sang and played  early jazz and Americana classics, as well as a bit of blues, tango ("El Choclo") and a traditional New Orleans-style take on Hank Williams' first country hit, "Move It On Over."

While they've known each other for years, this was the first time she'd worked with Orlando-based Allred. The concert was the second of five in a Glenridge series sponsored by the South County Jazz Club.
