SCROLL DOWN FOR TICKETS!

For nearly 20 years, Betty Hoover presented Jazz at the A Frame in her home in the Hollywood Hills. In the process, she created a community of jazz lovers and musicians, who loved the A Frame jazz series, with its informal intimacy, and friendships, and loved and revered their dear friend, Betty.

Over its lifetime, the A Frame presented nearly 500 world-class jazz artists.

Four of those artists, led by Rickey Woodard, and Clayton Cameron will form the core quartet for the tribute, and many others have been invited to sit in.

One of Betty’s favorite singers, Denise Thimes, will be flying in for the tribute!

The music will be great, but most importantly, the tribute will be an opportunity for the community of A Framers to come together, share memories, and celebrate the woman who gave pleasure to so many jazz fans in Los Angeles.
