Vintage jazz 5-piece, plus guest, Speakeasy 3 perform Some Of These Days at the East Cliff Brewing Company in Santa Cruz. Some Of These Days was composed by Shelton Brooks in 1910 and recorded by vaudeville lounge performer Sophie Tucker the following year. Tucker, a white performer who started introducing jazz to white audiences, rerecorded the song in 1926 when jazz became a craze during Prohibition with middle-class white audiences and the song became a hit. Ethel Waters would release her version a year later giving the popular tune a more soulful blues sound to the vocals.

Bandleader Scott Stobbe has a number of traditional jazz and folk music projects, including The Sourmash Hug Band, all the while producing modern compositions. The premiere of his Circadian Melodies can be heard Feb. 8 during Night of the Living Composers at Cabrillo College.
