Sweetwater Jazz Nights

By Kathy Edwards McFarland

Back in the day … well, 2012, I started Denton Jazz Chronicles, a blog with a mission – telling North Texas and the world about Live Jazz (and other notable music information) here in Denton, Texas.

One of the first stories centered on the Sweetwater Jazz Quartet, house band at Sweetwater Grill & Tavern, 115 S. Elm St.

Now that Sweetwater is being revived by the Meredith’s, Stephanie and Ron Reinke and Joey Hawkins (think Jupiter House, Royals Bagels), I dug up one of the first youtube videos of the original and soon to be reintroduced Sweetwater Jazz Quartet with Jim Riggs (sax), Neil Slater (keyboard), Ron Fink (drums), and Jeffry Eckels (double bass) … Oh, look out, now!
